Loyalty


A flashlight

sat next to candle

In a dark night

and someone once asked

Which one shined bright

 

Well said the person

Sitting real near

What is the diference

If its dark?

 

You see you light a candle

With a hot flame

But it all depends

if theres wind, if theres rain

The flame will go out

It will last through a night

But it will dissapear

When a storm takes sight

 

A flashlight on the other hand

Clearly man made

Will work perfectly

With a battery as its aid

It will shine through days

It will shine through nights

It will shine even

when a storm takes sight

 

It will never go away,

when you need it most anyway

Yet it will last

If the battery is ok

 

Both shine bright

So you asked the wrong question

What you really need to know

Is one that wont easily go

So next time

you endure a stormy night

Go get the one

That will do you right
