Leadership

When a big kid goes to help a little kid
When a smart kid goes to help a challenged kid
When a leader takes leadership.

Sometimes you meet someone and you go
“Man this persons a real leader”
Sometimes they catch you by surprise and you go
“You know I really didn’t see it before but now, I know”

We don’t need superheroes,
Or sorcerers or people with powers,
No we don’t need any thing fake,
What we need are real superheroes,
People we can look up to
And will always be there to

But sometimes there are no leaders around you,
And sometimes you need to step up,
To be the person we all know you can be
To lead a big kid to help a little kid
To encourage a smart kid to help a challenged kid
To recognize yourself as a leader
And to take leadership

Always there will be a leader,
Even if you don’t know it
Because that’s what leaders are for
To be there for you
Even when you don’t think you need anyone

    I like this. Very effective the way you repeated your lines from the introductory stanza to make your point!

  2. I agree I love this poem about leadership. And think that we do need to stand up for are self and others.
