The Promise of a Lifetime
If you have a friend.
Protect them to the end.
They should have heard.
If you've given them your word.
Trust in their good will.
So that joy will never spill.
Out into the night.
Without warmth, without light.
You trust them to a fault.
Your buddy has sealed the vault.
If they break that trust.
Then your heart will surely rust.
Do not take them for granted.
This great wisdom is not slanted.
Teach them to honor and commit.
Never barter, never quit.
If they are proven wrong.
Forgive and sing a song.
For your life be ever long.
Niceness you should be.
Fill the world with harmony.
