Loyalty

What is the measure of life?

Is it to live or die for home and country?

Is it to throw in my all when we ride

And watch gales of laughter weave

Our essences in knots of harmony?

What is the measure of life?

But the moments that lift the thrust of our flight?

The seconds that show us who we really are,

The instances that reveal where our loyalty lies.
