Happy Father's Day ~
Photo files: lbwalker
You got it from your father
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 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.
