For all those who are part of the Sandwich Generation

Confused to choose
How cruel and unfair
I always seem to loose

Very young or very old
Age has no boundaries
This I am told

Opposites surely attract
Leaving one’s life
Or starting new
This is a fact

They are walking
Front and behind
Both are talking

So I freeze and stand
In the middle of the street
Run to hold which hand?

Always the way
Pulled in both directions
That is the cry I have today

Wishing for an ear
Understand the dilemma
Support is not too near

Most of the world
Lives in a bubble
Not fully understanding
The immense struggle

Just everyone and me
Making the decision
For us three

Good write. There are a lot more people than you think feeling this way at times. You expressed it well.

I can so empathise....I have many lady mates who are as frustrated as this.... Needing a real bloke, not Mr nicey nice or Mr Rambo, but the bloke in the middle, who stands up when needed, protects when needed, yet is a lamb to his loved ones....Never ever take second best...Just love and He'll do the rest..lest he's a wimp...

I appreciate the analogy of the sandwich, Staci; and the meaning behind your verses here. Thank you. Love and best wishes,

Many families know just how that is. Guess sometimes we have to pour a glass of wine and sit back and enjoy life. Being the bread, meat, and cheese is impossible for one person.

Oh boy, I sure know just how you feel being the filling to the sandwich. No matter what you say or what you do, someone is happy and someone is not, so you lose every time...

Be safe,
Karen
