Loyalty is where the heart is <br />in eternal lengths and depths. <br />Bound in love, and sealed in courage <br />by supernal covenants. <br /> <br />Family is the beginning! <br />First in order from our birth <br />to whom we give, without an ending, <br />adorations of our worth. <br /> <br />Our friends in loyalty will follow <br />after family bonds are made. <br />And let a friend whose hope is hollow <br />be lifted by our hasteful aid. <br /> <br />And then, progressing, find a mate <br />with whom you'll form a family. <br />Let loyalty with them be great <br />in time and all eternity. <br /> <br />O man, O man, remember Him! <br />The one from whom all blessings flow! <br />Take time to learn of Elohim, <br />That God that sent you here to grow! <br /> <br />Before your loyalties are given <br />to those we meet in life on earth, <br />Put, first, your loyalty in Heaven <br />and He who gave you timeless worth!<br /><br />Chris Schleier<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/loyalty-26/
