My Dad, a Former Detroit Tiger Turns 80 Today!
My Dad (his rookie card with the Detroit Tigers above) -- Jim Small -- just completed his 80th lap around the Sun today! Happy Birthday Dad!
One of my two favorite poems is this below -- and a "name" is what my Dad gave me many years ago...
Your 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
