You got it from your father,
It was all he had to give,
So its yours to use and cherish,
For as long as you may live.
If you loose 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 bare,
When he got it from his father,
There was no dishoner there.
So be 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.
