I think that your interpretation of the poem makes sense and is valid.

I (obviously) have issues with needing to be in control of everything and I think it would do me a world of good to be able to even a small degree just let things come as they may and kind of roll with the punches for a little while.

This is exciting to think about, that you could move in the direction of having less need to control everything.
What is an example of something in your environment right now that you could let be and not overly control?
I would suggest that you try letting be with one or two things in your environment and then type/write down what you are feeling about this change and how much you will need to actively cope with any distressing emotions that arise--versus how much you could accept, ACT-style, that these emotions are present and not need to actively cope with them or try to change them.
