“I Will…

”first phrase of testamentary -

who will inherit, wealth or not,

for what’s the legacy we leave?

Or prompt for groom at altar steps

who wants to promise, ‘yes’ in place,

a vow of words, but action counts?

Another language like ‘Ich will’,

‘I want’, not rooted in what do,

words declined, not understood?

An angel leaving note for me

,a prophecy of what’s in store,

courage to face that dreaded day?

But all’s just possible from pew -

‘The Bench’ could be a judgement seat,

carpenter’s workplace, wood and nails?
