Carefree And Wild Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

No child should be encouraged,
To live their life carefree and wild to the fullest...
Until they have been introduced to self respect,
Discipline and purpose.
With a hope that a setting of priorities comes first.
And realizing without patience, tolerance and initiative,
A life lived carefree and wild to its fullest,
Can end it prematurely with a belief that being grown...
Means doing what one pleases to do when done.
And no one to follow as an example.
