Poem for Sharon

 Your Father's Name

You got it from your father,
T'was the best he had to give.
And right gladly he bestowed it,
It is yours; the while you live.
You may lose the watch he gave you,
And another you may claim,
But, remember, when you're tempted,
To be careful of his name.
It was fair the day you got it
And a worthy name to wear;
When he took it from his father
There was no dishonor there.
Through the years he proudly wore it
To his father he was true,
And that name was clean and spotless
When he passed it on to you.
It is your's to wear forever;
Yours perhaps, some distant morn
To another boy to give,
And you'll smile as did your father
Smile, above that baby there,
If a clean name and a good name
You are giving him to wear.
