Little Boy

Little boy runs from his grandmother up a tree... Gran sits in chair waits He needed spank'n so she waited 'til he came down.. Discipline takes time Cody's dad told this story about him and his grandmother years ago....

Yes, children need to be disciplined or they will grow up spoiled and demanding! It's never fun to do but is necessary, just like you have described, done so patiently! This way this child knew that when he got down he was in trouble! A perfect poem in regards to this subject my friend! What a tremendous piece, such a grand poem, Great Work!!

Sara, Love this poem and the image of that very determined grandmother who waited patiently to teach the pain of disobedience...
