The Leader I Admire Most

Over time, there have been several people who have influenced various aspects of my life, based on their personal characteristics, accomplishments, and values. I have been privileged to have had numerous teachers and lecturers who I respect for their patience and intelligence. There are artists that have inspired me by their natural talents and original creativity. I value many political leaders, who have inspired me by their contributions to society, and their ability to change our futures. Of all the people I have encountered in my life, the person I admire most is my Father.


Patient and steady with all he bear, Ready to meet every challenge with care, Easy in manner, yet solid at steel, String 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 would not be unnerved, Ever assuring he’ll stand by his word, Wanting the world to join his 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.
