The Servant-Leader:
The role model …
The risk-taker …
The promoter of others …
The initiator …
Not the moocher—
But the giver
Is the one who will walk …
That extra mile—stride
In another … person's shoes …
Listen! He and she truly
Lead, and are …
Always approachable …
The door of the heart
Never closes--
… As she listens …
She learns —
As does he—
They work together,
Avoiding the arrogance
That is ignorance—
Both… tend to be...
Generous …
They wash …
Each other’s feet …
And the feet of those
Who need it most!
Her words are matched by her gait,
And with her gentle grace
Those before her feel secure—
And he becomes
Measured, modest and more restrained!
Both by nature are ‘night birds’—
Become leaders
In the sunlight!
