Your Name

You got it from your father
It was all he had to give
So it's yours to use and cherish
For as long as you may live

If you lose the watch he gave you
It can always 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 dishonor 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
