Perception 1

Proverbs 25:28 

28 A person without self-control
    is like a city with broken-down walls.

 

 Perception

 

Take your shoes off at the door … Let’s keep the house clean

Smilingly I watch outside as the children play bare-footed

Yes there’s a way to floor good intentions as now seen

In the children’s hearts as the adults seem so polluted

 

Peeing against the wind does not outweigh doing it in your pants

Grown-ups should realize that both are kind of nasty

One is done in ignorance and the other simply stands

On disregard of sugar and spice that maturity seems to be casting
