Poetry

---

The rod with reproof gives wisdom,
In preparing for His kingdom;
It is helping a child to know,
The direction that they must go.

But a child undisciplined,
Means the mother has also sinned;
Causing a shame and a disgrace,
By others who would see her face.

Without vision they run wild,
For an undisciplined child;
Satan will tempt them with some bait,
Which will then be sealing their fate.

Then Satan has them as his slave,
And his numbers he will engrave;
So the son will not understand,
When you give a righteous command.

For the undisciplined in time,
Just might cause an increase in crime;
As righteous people see failure,
And not yet saved by the Savior.

But bless the ones, who have been taught,
To follow God what He has sought;
For honesty and truth will be,
What your son will then truly see.

Correct your son for peace of mind,
Teach him to be gentle and kind;
You will know that you reached your goal,
When he brings delight to your soul.
