A Mansion For My Children

In my Will 
My final request
My kids know
What I want best

Sell all I have
Except my truck
It's going with me
With a little luck

Stocks, bonds
All my houses, land too
Keeping 10 acres
And build a mansion for all of you

If there's any fighting
My parents will take hold
Grab you by the neck
Throw you out into the cold

Life Insurance is plenty
But it will go to someone in my past
For our life together didn't work
But my love will forever last

For all I've done for all of you
Please just this one thing for me
Live in a mansion of love
And me, you'll always see
