i found this poem year's ago in a charity shop,i got it for michael and framed it
your name
you got it from your father
it was all he had to give
so it's your's to use and cherish
for as long as you live
if you lose the watch he gave you
it can alway's be replaced
but a black mark on your name,son,
can never be erased
it was clean the day you took it
and a worthy name to bear
when he got it from his father
there was no dishonour there
so make sure you guard it wisely
after all is said and done
you'll be glad the name is spotless
when you give it to your son
edgar albert guest (1881-1959) |
