Short Translation Request - Greatly Appreciated

    Hello, I'm interested in learning the translation of the phrase "my living example" to Irish.

    For context, its a lyric from a song with a romantic inspiration (i.e. She is "my living example" of perfection/love/beauty/what-have-you)

    I've noticed that online translators give significantly different results depending on which if any of the words in the phrase are capitalized. A few I've gotten so far...

    "Mar shampla mo chónaí"
    "Mo shampla ina gcónaí"
    "Mo shampla maireachtála"

    Is there any of these that is more appropriate for the context than the others?

    Again, any help would be much appreciated.

    "mo dheismireacht beo" is the nicest translation I can come up with.
    There's probably a decent naith cainte for it, but I don't know too many of those myself.
