SAYING GOODBYE

Saying goodbye with no departure date,

Knowing you will never miss it or be late.

So, ahead of time, you prepare the way.

Powers of attorney carefully selected,

As you will entrust them with your final hours and earthly estate.

A will is essential or there may be permanent family discord.

Even in the best families, unless clearly expressed,

Emotions will arise causing division and distress,

As battles are fought over the smallest of possessions

You might have left.

Unless you wickedly choose to have your payback time

To relatives and friends who have been unkind.

Make sure those who inherit are those you really intended.

So, when the call comes, you can leave this world contented.
