Loyalty

Loyalty Submitted by: [|Lexel] //Author: Unknown// He may be six kinds of a liar He may be ten kinds of a fool. He may be a wicked high flier Beyond any reason or rule. There may be a shadow above him Of ruin and woes to impend And I may not respect, but I love him, Because -- well, because he's my friend.

I know he has faults by the billion, But his faults are a portion of him, I know that his record's vermillion And he's far from the sweet Seraphim; But he's always been square with yours truly, Ready to give or to lend, And if he's wild and unruly I like him -- because he's my friend.

I criticize him but I do it In just a frank comradely key And back biting gossips will rue it If they ever knock him to me! I never make diagrams of him No maps of his soul have I penned, I don't analyze -- I just love him, Because -- well, because he's my friend.
