Discipline

Proverbs 13:24 24 He who spares his rod hates his son,
But he who loves him disciplines him promptly.
 Discipline   … God The Father cares …

 

Where does it start in life ... how to prepare its foundation?

Is it in the morning sun ... or by a moonlit night?

How does the mind perceive ... the total frustration

as a path is searched for ... through feelings in the quiet?

 

Can it be controlled by self ... right from the beginning?

Or does it start imposed ... by the firmness of a will?

So that the perimeters ... will clearly show the winning

as itself prevents in part ... the natural overkill.

 

Is it a state of youth ... that there is pliability?

Is that the only place ... where it can be taught?

To teach a dog that is old ... will end up in futility

unless fear itself changes that will ... and only then for naught.
