Question

The Leader

Patient and steady with all he must bear,

Ready to meet every challenge with care,

Easy in manner yet solid as steel,

Strong in his faith refreshingly real,

Isn’t afraid to propose what is bold,

Doesn’t conform to the usual mould,

Eyes that have foresight, for hindsight won’t do,

Never backs down when he sees what is true,

Tells it all straight, and means it all too.

Going forward and knowing he’s right,

Even when doubted for why he would fight,

Over and over he makes his case clear

Reaching to touch the ones who won’t hear.

Growing in strength, he won’t be unnerved

Ever assuring he’ll stand by his word.

Wanting the world to join firm stand,

Bracing for war, but praying for peace,

Using his power so evil will cease:

So much a leader and worthy of trust,

Here stands a man who will do what he must.
