Who'll get your property, dear soul,
When you no longer have control?
Will it be left for worldly kin
To send them deeper into sin?

Will sons and duaghters law it out,
Or with each other fuss and pout,
Because they don't and won't agree
Just what the share of each shall be?

Will someone drink it all away,
As sometimes happens, sad to say.
Will it be spent when you have died,
To gratify a lot of pride?

Will those for whom you've saved it up
Expend it just to fill life's cup
With pleasures that will curse and blight
And send them to Hell's black night?

Who'll get your business, or your land,
And cash, perhaps, you have on hand?
Who'll get the means that you have saved
For which you sacrificed and slaved?

You'd better seek God's Holy Will
Before you grow quite weak and ill,
As to the way your means should go
When you are through with earth below.
