Tall Trees and Tiny Acorns
MY LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT
In the year of our Lord 2000, In the name of God, Amen,
My Last Will and Testament, Until we meet again.
In equal shares, to my family, I leave the rainbow's end,
There you will find a wealth of love, this love to you I send,
To my friends and all my family, again, in equal parts,
I leave to you, the sunshine, to keep in all of your hearts,
In the brightest of that sunshine you will find my smile,
It was always there for you , it will be, all the while,
For each of my dear grandchildren, I share the brightest star,
From there my little darlings, I can see just where you are,
For everyone, for each of you, my laughter is in the wind,
Listen to that laughter roar, and then hear it rescind,
For everyone, for each of you, a lifetime of happiness,
To each a double portion, and a tender warm caress,
I have wasted all my spitefulness, meanness and contempt,
None of those I leave to you, they are now exempt,
My heirs and assigns forever, for you, there will always be,
A part of me, for each of you, until eternity.
