The Man in the Middle
He’s the man in the middle,
the one in between,
neither built like a mountain
nor a twig, but he’s lean.
You might overlook him;
he tends to keep out of sight.
He will stand in the shadows,
but can handle the light.
He’s cautious and cunning.
He can battle the best.
He can quiet the mountain,
drive the twig to its nest.
His senses are stunning;
he’s always aware.
No one controls him.
He won’t fall for a dare.
Never question his honor.
Never step on his pride.
Befriend him, defend him,
and he’ll stand by your side.
He’ll fight for your honor
as well as his own,
but don’t try to crowd him;
he needs time alone.
He’s not chauvinistic
yet plies chivalric art.
He’s the man in the middle;
he’s the one in your heart.
