Father's Family 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 lost the watch he gave you
It can always be replaced,
But a black mark on your name
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.

Proverbs 22:1 A good name is rather to be chosen than great riches, and loving favour rather than silver and gold.
