The Disciplined Way
It's gotten really tough to find an entire family that's genuinely "tight" - and a BIG part of the problem is texting rather than calling ones loved ones.
Never exposed to determinant issues that typically alter our lives, my childhood was rather blasé,
And luckily my parents, both Mother and Dad - precisely the same as their folks - had learned that the disciplined way
They and their siblings were lovingly raised, while laden with verified rules - rules they were made to obey -
Was, for a fact, what had tailored their futures and won us the closeness our family’s enjoying today!
‘Sparing the rod will but spoil the child’ - an idiom older than dirt - is a proverb they’d commonly say,
And me and my wife are now following suit - though not often easy to do - by employing the disciplined way!
