PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

. . . And, when that time comes, let my tombstone bear an

image of my Savior's cross, the symbol of Salvation

then. below it, inscribe this summary name J-Called

(the final form, no more to be forestalled)

over my mundane initials and surname,fores and the dates that present

my birth and death in the flesh (the human situation).

Regardless of what well-meaning others think should be preferred---

this poem declares my parting wish (the final one).
To the Lord, also, I make it a prayer

(I have prayed forgiveness for the many wrongs I have done;

and I know my prayer has been heard).

I write this poem with the express intent

that it bear the force of a last will and testament.

This is my final request of you, made with full consent 

composed in the form of my poetry:

signed, in good faith, irrevocably . . .

Starward, an Orthodox Christian
