Servant Leadership

My training is the reason I survive.

It keeps me grounded in hard times.
It keeps me set on the goal at hand,
And gives me the strength to be a better man.


It gives me the courage to humble myself;
To lead by example always lending to help.
Knowing that I can't do it on my own.

That it takes many hands to make a light load.


This skill that defines me not many possess.
It is hard to come by and even harder to resist.
To lead by servitude is a not an easy task,
But it always makes more bonds that will last

See the reason that I say it is so rare.
It is not because of any burden a leader might bare.
No not in fact to do with a leader at all,
But being a servant now that's why I stand tall.


It's the hardest thing I have ever done,
And the best prize that I could have won.
To see the accomplishment of those I lead,
As they marvel at all their own spectacular deeds.

You know you orchestrated it from behind.

And was there for most of the time.
But the beauty that they did it on their own,
And got to use you to help with their load.
Well I'll tell you this there's no better prize,

Than to lead in this servant kind of life.
