Analysis of Willpower and More



If every hour my willpower,
Is used, it's not enough,
Since contemplation and temptation
Are in a fight quite rough.

My mindfulness will fight duress
If I use prayer too!
It comes all days in many ways
To see what I will do.

I must believe I will achieve
Success If I persist
In fighting hard while on my guard
So sins I will resist!
