In this Last Will and Testament, I do decree, A legacy of law, and its tapestry. Let my words be a witness, my heart's tale, Of the noble endeavor that's never frail. Unto Justice, I bequeath my fervent gaze, That she may discern the truth in life's maze. My commitment, unwavering, to her cause, I shall uphold, as a guardian of laws. To Mercy, I leave the warmth of my hand, May it soften the rulings, just and grand. Temper the scales, with compassion imbued, And nurture the seeds of equity, shrewd. In Trust, I invest my spirit of bond, The essence of faith, of which I am fond. May it strengthen the ties of common man, And guide the law's course, as best as it can. To the Court, I grant my reasoned insight, That every judgment may be true and right. In the halls of justice, may my voice resound, For fairness, equality, to be unbound. My Legacy, in the annals of time, Shall be a beacon for all to chime. A testament to the laws we create, To shape our world, and seal our fate. In the end, I surrender my earthly breath, For I've served the law, in life and in death. A guardian of justice, my soul shall rest, In the realm where the righteous are truly blessed.
