-- The Mark of Loyalty --

­­John Herlihy

 

The mark of loyalty,

Aided by mutual fealty.

Such passion in a word,

Such honesty ever heard.

An imprimatur of the self,

Its true value as wealth.

Loyalty offered as gift,

All impurities to sift.

Never another betray,

Always trust convey.

Disloyalty’s indelible mark,

Permanent as a watermark.

Two soul mates found,

Bound in a way profound.
