Loyal is drinking classic Coke when everyone else is drinking Diet Pepsi
Loyal is staying true to one heart
Loyal is never having to say, I won’t do it again
…. no to other opportunity, yes to a friend and partner in a startup business
… vows kept
… the guarding dog.. keeping EVAC away from his comatose owner
… roses and birthday dinner with your wife, rather than a planned night out with the guys
.. knelt prayer at the Vietnam Memorlal
Loyal is as loyal does
Indeed!
…unconditional love…no matter what.
….something my daddy said…I’d soon find out…when the chips were down….who my true friends were.
….your buddy who’s covering you…when your right in the line of fire.
…that old hound of yours…who can’t just get enough of you.
…is & can be… just as fleeting…as a fair weathered friend.
Loyal is………
bleeding Razorback red as you frantically hit redial to the radio show, while licking your wounds from the LSU caller before you.—WooPig!
Trepeaux, Lol!
Loyal is being true, being hot not lukewarm, seeing the Way in every day, hearing the Truth instruct me. Loyal is trust and obey, whether my lyrics become song or not.
Don’t tell me you were that LSU caller Nick! Lol! ??
Loyal is classic vinyl and tubes
good one. I get that….

“Loyal is __________.”
…the every time you stood by me when everyone sat down.
…cheering for the home team through every win and defeat.
…the solid footing we all need when livin’ life on shaky ground.
…the music fan waiting patiently for the next release
…the dirt on my hands, the grit in my teeth and livin’ every day with a bit of elbow grease
Loyal is……..
a smiling husband who eats something he’s hated all his life, because the love of his life cooked it.
the man who’s job it was to be a Bin Laden look-alike decoy.
overpaying for a brand new Ford, because your last two broke down.
pledging alliegence each day to the flag because it lifts you up, even though government and ignorance let you down.
Loyal is a duffel bag of loose change…
Loyal is a Brittany Spaniel named Lady from the 70s and still in my heart…
Fidelity to my Lord…
Loyal is a dog switching from sound asleep to a full sprint when he hears you open the gate into the yard.
Loyal is moving 700 miles away from the comfort of your family and friends, to support your spouse’s crazy obsession with writing songs in Nashville.
Loyal is sitting at your writing desk at 10:00 every day, even when you’re sure there’s nothing left to write about.
Loyal is writing one word after another after another, without opening a single tab in your internet browser.
