My Son

The product of my loin

The apple of my eyes

The abode of my spirit

The inheritor of my legacies

The viceroy of my estate

My vicegerent when I am gone

Listen to me

Be a worthy ambassador

Be conscious of the name you bear

Be ready to uphold legacies

Be prepared to advance its cause

Be willing to defend and protect it

Be a proud custodian of your ancestors' name

Make me a happy and proud father

Be a source of inspiration to others

My son

Aim high in life

My dream is that of a fulfilled father

Its fruition lies in you

I am confident you can convert fantasy into reality

Therefore, go all out and prove your mettle

And you will find me a willing and worthy sire.
