Listen To Discipline

What do you do when you receive correction?
Remain haughty then scramble in another direction?
The wise ones won't shun it, but face it with courage
To change their ways although they might suffer.

The end result is oh so pleasing,
Clothing maturity is oh so appeasing.
Who needs discipline? Don’t we all?
The humble embrace it to shield from a fall.
