Strict And Sticking To A Discipline Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

Strict and sticking to a discipline,
I knew...
From early teachings,
That still pull me through.

Strict and sticking to a discipline,
Understood...
With a doing,
Because I know I should.

And I...
Don't try to find excuses to hide.
Because this has a benefit I pride.
And I...
Don't try to find excuses to hide.
Because this helps me feel a strength inside.

Strict and sticking to a discipline,
I knew...
From early teachings,
That still pull me through.
And I...
Don't try to find excuses to hide.
Like so many others seem to do.

Strict and sticking to a discipline,
Benefits.
Strict and sticking to a discipline,
Has no risks.
Strict and sticking to a discipline,
I admit...
Offers more to feeling good than not.
