Making a Will
Help keep the Three Jewels shining
Ten steps to making your will here…
Life is King
Hour after hour, day
After day we try
To grasp the Ungraspable, pinpoint
The Unpredictable. Flowers
Wither when touched, ice
Suddenly cracks beneath our feet. Vainly
We try to track birdflight through the sky trace
Dumb fish through deep water, try
To anticipate the earned smile the soft
Reward, even
Try to grasp our own lives. But Life
Slips through our fingers
Like snow. Life
Cannot belong to us. We
Belong to Life. Life
Is King.
Sangharakshita, “Life is King”, from Complete Poems 1941-1994, published by Windhorse Publications.

People under estimate the importance of making a Will. It’s essential that each of us writes a Will to ensure that our loved ones are cared for as we would wish upon our death.
