the things of Loyalty
are the relationships
that shall remain
forever with thee;
so defend your friendships
with courage and tenacity.
For we are not Loyal
if we do not remain
true to each other,
moment to moment,
from always to always
appreciating those things
that we share in our humanity
and respecting the things
that make us unique as persons,
seen as well as unseen,
in ourselves and in our nations
in the vision of our timeless belonging
with one another in God and Country
as each our own true self -
as each our own true names
written in heaven.
From the descendant gravity
of the spirit of war and division;
against things born of the darkness
defeated and empty of promise
stand fast in thy friendships!
Guard thy peace with each other
and in thy togetherness hope.
Never be Loyal
to inanimate and empty things;
those fickle and ephemeral
things of vanity!
But only to each other
and in the ascendant motions
of Sacred Life.
For the realization of all our hope
rests in the glory of our LORD
in all creation.
And all these created things
are made by our one common Creator
to be Loyal to all of these.
