The Last Will and Testament of Mom and Dad

Doing things by the book
Mom awaits a secret garden
Cleansed through application
Years of service completed
Thoroughly laid down, she dreams
Of lofty French cathedrals
Her maiden name retained

Dad reclaims his potency
Unwearied by the years
Gladly rides his motorcycle 
Beyond the frontiers
With his sons by his side
His independence fulfilled
