A Good Name
2025

Children choose it,
Don’t refuse it
‘Tis a precious diadem:
Ne’er despise it
You will need it when you’re men

Love and cherish
Love and nourish,
‘Tis more precious far than gold;
Watch and guard it
Don’t discard it;
You will need it when you’re old

Then endeavor,
Now and ever- Keep this blessed treasure nigh;
Never leave it Always own it,
You will need it when you die
