Changing My Will (Again)

Over the years of accumulating
Items of value
My "Will" was created
To protect what is mine and true

I've never taken a name off
Just keep adding as I go along
It is not a family secret
We just put things where they belong

I am, after 10 years
Removing someone's name
Adding two more children
Yes, I am totally sane

It took a lot of thought
As I look into my life
I could die in 50 years
But I'm not his wife

I'm giving my possessions
In very detailed form
Only to the ones who love me
And upon death, they'll be no storm

I come to this decision
With tears streaming down my face
I hope this is a lesson to all
You must put love in its prospective place.

Please think in advance
About what and who is left behind
As your death will be hard enough
Your last words they "Will" remember for all of time
