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!
