\n

In the twilight of life’s grand parade,
Where memories of yore are softly laid,
A task awaits, both wise and brave,
To chart the course beyond the grave.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Estate planning, a somber quest,
Ensures our legacy finds its rest,
With foresight, love, and careful thought,
A map of treasures, dearly bought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We gather close, our kin and friends,
To weave a tapestry that transcends,
The bonds of time, and life’s brief stay,
A final gift, our love’s display.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With pen in hand, we forge a will,
A document, our dreams to distill,
To pass along our cherished trove,
A testament of life’s grand oeuvre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trusts we form, a shelter strong,
To guard our kin when we’ve moved on,
A fortress built with love and care,
To cradle hearts, and dreams to bear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our assets gathered, one and all,
Divided fair, a balanced call,
To honor those who share our name,
And stoke the fire of our family’s flame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As guardians, we do bequeath,
The wisdom, love, and life’s motif,
To guide the young and nurture hope,
With sturdy hands, they’ll learn to cope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In charity, we cast our grace,
A lasting gift for the human race,
A pledge of hope to those in need,
With open hearts, we plant the seed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And in these choices, we transcend,
The fleeting nature of life’s end,
With every plan and careful deed,
We write a verse in life’s grand creed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So take the time, this task embrace,
In estate planning, find your place,
And as the sun sets, you will see,
A legacy of love and life’s decree.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
