Good Name

It was a good name, handed down for generations,
www.allposters.com
dad to son, dad to son, and on to his, synonymous 
with character and honor, respect and purity 
of thought, a name that gave those bearing it
immediate acclaim, assumed to be, in heart, the same 
as what was conjured up by signature. But oh, the shame
when finally a bad seed reared its ugly head and pulled
him from the pedestal that all had thought a permanent
location. How many years would offspring take to
earn the family's honor once again, dispelling all disgrace?
