To my heirs and legacy bearers

By Stanley Collymore

Thank you forever! As I couldn’t have asked for, 
let alone have so gratefully been blessed with 
a most outstandingly remarkable duo of a 
lovely daughter and a handsome son 
than what I’ve been so delightfully 
given in the persons of both of 
you. And so my eternal thanks and innermost 
gratitude go out in equivalent measure to 
the two of you: cherished seeds of my 
loins and fittingly the true bearers 
of what I sincerely represent, 
and the enduring legacy to 
all others of what I’ve earnestly
endeavoured to accomplish 
and actually did attain, 
when my mortal life 
on earth is finally 
spent, and only 
memories of
me remain.

Author’s Remarks:
Being a parent should and can be a most marvellous experience but, additionally, knowing that your offspring will be the true legacy bearers of what you in a principled stance quite resolutely stand for and genuinely represent, is not only an awe-inspiring revelation in itself but also a realization too that’s Heaven-sent!
