A Handshake

A knot in a rope, a twist in a strap, Bound tight to never give way, Shackled in trust and tied to each other, Relying on what they both say, They’re able to confide the truth in each other, Confide the secrets they own, And know this truth will be securely kept, Their words are written in stone, They are friends who say what they actually mean, And never distort, lie or cheat, They know they don’t need to record what they say, That there’ll never be any deceit, This knot in the rope, the firmest handshake, Only deals with honest and true, It’s how we all believe and trust in each other, It’s what reliable folks do.
