If anyone has a favorite poem by Tim, perhaps they might post it here or on another thread. Here is one that I put on my Facebook page.
LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT
Each will and codicil
made heretofore by me
I cancel. Let this be
at law my binding will.
Assets of every kind
with which I die possessed
pass to my trust and vest
as I long since designed.
Bankers whose funds I drew
in hardship I enjoin:
leave me the single coin
my Ferryman is due.
My brother James, I name
executor, trustee.
From every obligee
I hold him free from blame.
My mother I bid goodbye.
I leave her in good hands.
My younger brother stands
straighter by far than I.
Alan, across the river
the poets abide their glade
where I’ll embrace the shade
of my foremost forgiver.
Made and declared by free
intent my written word
and signed by me this 3rd
of March, 2003.
