Where will you be in days to come?
When asked to pluck another plum,
When you are called to help a friend
Will you be there time and again?
—
Or will you go the way of others
That turn their backs upon their brothers
And seek their own satisfaction first
When the call it comes; the caller cursed.
—
No, I will be loyal all the way
To stand beside you at the gate
To be with you when needed most
To be a man and not a ghost
—
The value of loyalty is high
There is little else that I would buy
If indeed it could be bought and sold
For any amount of priceless gold.
—
And will you join me in this quest?
To show you value loyalty best?
To be the one that can be numbered
To hold the mark, alert, not slumbered.
—
I’m told of one that lived long ago
His loyalty shone like a rainbow
He did his most to help his friends
He did his most until the end.
—
Stories of loyalty sometimes are hard
Perhaps you fear it may break your heart
Surely it will, if you decide
To turn your back when the time arrives.
—
So stick with me and I will show
The path to happiness is not below,
It isn’t from Hell, it’s from above,
For loyalty is made with Love.
