| A Dad's Legacy Every dad should leave a legacy For the children he has sired. No, it isn't land or money, It's a man to be admired. For your children It begins to build at childhood. A hero for their lives, And they will remember when, there, a giant stood. No you're not a giant, You're just a common man. But it's how you handled life, And your goodness through your span. What you are and what you've done Is imbedded in an offspring's mind. Character and deeds performed, Are what they would like to find. So if you leave nothing else To endear your children's memory, Leave that strong and kindly giant In their heart and mind, their library. George C. Clements |
