Willfulness lyrics

To raise children is difficult

Making the decisions to grow

And make changes unforeseen

That fit rigidly for life choices

For grown men it is curious

To learn the consequence of it

Pushing and pulling daily doses

To reach an equilibrium of being

Willfulness is determination

Though perhaps yet unrefined

A matter of bending to others

If it is learning for such inclined

Since life is every changing still

And fledglings must learn to fly

All must gain willfulness due

Its daily guidance, a reason why

Recall Icarus symbolized folly

That willfulness wrought demise

Soaring far too high in glory

Plunging into the sea in defeat
