Order our souls, self discipline,
Others tell us just how it’s done,
Practice, the heart of behavior,
A virtue we always savor.
Do we see us as that, someone,

Lacking this grace? Balance be none?
And letting our shortcomings run
Away too often? So, better
Order our souls!

Ah, easier said than begun,
Correcting ourselves is no fun,
Of course we all want the matter
Known only to us, as favor
We promise to, sure as the Sun,
Order our souls!

Self discipline is hard,
but not impossible,

but I understand what
you are saying~

I'm promising no such thing, but I was drawn to your poem.

Yo Bloodline,

Don’t worry excessively about ordering your soul or mine.  Things play out the way they will.

"Correcting ourselves is no fun,"

Admitting when you're wrong is probably the worst, but it's a necessary ingredient in living. Ah, enjoyed your work.

A Romantic Heart,
Oh just rambling, thank you for
your read and comment,

Osprey, I agree, thanks for stopping by,

Robert E. Jordan, no worries, just
following a muse of the moment,

Oklahoma Rose, your right of course,
thank you for those words, yes, easy
does it,

Kaoru, always fun to see your comments
many thanks, maybe we are too hard on ourselves, all in good time,

Bloodline

Yep, I am a self-starter - now if I could only be a self-finisher!

I love this one, BL
