In the Middle

We’re stuck in the middle 
Too old for many
Too young for much 
Old enough
To know right from wrong
Too young to understand why 
Old enough to fall in love
Too young to understand why
Too old for all the games 
too young fro serious business
stuck in the middle of 
childhood which we will
embrace as we enter
adult hood which we will understand
old enough for questions
too young for answers 
bring stuck in the middle 
being young enough for fun 
being too old for all the play 
life is hard to get especially 
when you are stuck
in the middle 
being in the middle will have 
its ups downs tosses and turns 
but should be fun
but being in the middle 
you get responsibilities
