My Living Will

Do you have a will drawn up for your family, people ask?
Well, here is my will; I will take up this task

I will to my spouse and each of my children,
All of my motivation and willpower
To live each day prayerfully, every day and every hour

I will to my spouse and each of my children,
All of my spirit and force
To have the courage and strength to stay the right course

I will to my spouse and each of my children,
All of my strength of character
To be all that God sees in you and always stretching a little further

I will to my spouse and each of my children,
All of my resolve and determination 
To follow The Lord in all you do, until you reach Him, our final destination

I will to my spouse and each of my children,
All of my self control
To direct your lives pleasing unto God, knowing that He loves you and every living 
soul

This is my last Will and Testament that I leave to each of you.
It is every thing I have and all I truly own…
I testify I love you, and Will this truth be known…
