First Born ~ Responsible, Watching out for others, “Being there” at an early age, Never really knowing one’s own childhood. Best to put away this “duty”. Responsibility ~ Holds taut on those First Born |

Hi Sunshine, great to see you thismorning, this could be very true, depending on the size of the family I think, at times it might be the second born who takes on the duty, I enjoyed the read, thanks for sharing. Sincerely Rick |

So often very true, probably most often...but my elder brother wouldn't take it, so I had to...don't/didn't do it very well though, because I haven't taken much responsibility for him, just the minimum. Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

E'en tho' in my sixties, still I turn to my brother for guidance, the first born of my siblings Thanks to all who carry the lantern of "first born" for those who come behind. KJ Through rubble and trouble and dark of night |

...saved!  I am a first born! lol Are you? One thing I have discovered over the years is that the added responsibility that was put upon me in my early years was actually a very good thing for my personal development! ---I learned, I grew ~ and then I flew! lol  Fresh concept for a poem! Great rictameter! Warm hugs 'n knowing smiles, Linda |
