Whether or not you lead,
Remember these qualities
For they'll help you on life's roads
Starting with Loyalty.

Loyalty, always there for each other
Never forsake or leave behind,
In the end, it'll be well worth it
If you stay for them 'til the end of time.

Duty, always there, leader or not,
An obligation, it may seem.
Like a coursing river,
There 'twill always be.

Respect, from child to adult,
'Twill always be required.
Treat all the way you wish to be done so
Whether fully awake or bitterly tired.

Selfless Service, same as sacrifice,
It will pay off in the end.
Just remember that it's not always easy,
But it gets better, my friend.

Honor, stronger than the sun
'Twill always be these values,
Not always very fun,
In the end 'tis worth a thing or two.

Integrity, never break a promise.
Always do what's right.
You'll always have an enemy or two
Whether you turn left or right.

Personal Courage, making enemies
No matter what you do,
Keep faith in the face of danger
And you'll know just what to do.

Discipline and honesty,
Two more that made the list,
They go hand in hand
With all else, I think you get the gist.
