I would suggest speaking to an estate planning attorney for questions on drafting. Attempting to draft provisions one's self can lead to unintended problems. I'd be happy to discuss it with you if you have further questions.

I agree with the other lawyers. You should leave your estate in trust for your wife for life, with remainder to your daughter, but you need help to make sure it is done correctly.
