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!
