My Will. I Will

It is not that I haven't erred

Some decisions still cause me pain

But with each folly I've learned

And in that, I've found my gain

I shall correct my course

And guard myself from fearing falls

Consuming every resource

To resist my mind's defeatist calls

The world will habitually opine

But I know I am on my own

I'm destined to out live it's whine

And grow only what I've sown

I shall not hold myself still

Even as life goes a little awry

I'll rebuild it with my will

Rather than be forever sorry

I'll usher in the winds of change

That will softly blow away the strife

And I will slowly but surely rearrange

A brick at a time, my entire life.
