The True Leadership Treasure

I went on search to be a leader,
Searching high and low above the meter,
 

I spoke with authority that I remember,
All would follow, all but one member,
 

“Why should I trust you?’ the one did ask,
“What have you done to achieve the task?”
 

I thought long and hard of what I did wrong,
Then I rolled up my sleeves and worked right along,
 

Shoulder to shoulder we got things done,
We worked side by side, all were one,
 

A mate of mine stumbled, I stooped to assist,
My hand he did grab, a smile did persist,
 

One was lost, didn’t know what to do,
I showed him how, the ropes, something new
 

I praised them one and all for their work,
All were unique, but I encouraged each quirk,
 

When the task was done, one did shout
“You’re a great leader!” they all turned about,
 

"Without you there to support our plight,
Lost would we be with no end in sight",
 

I learned that day that I lead best,
When I get off my butt and help the rest,
 

To lead by example is the true treasure,
The secret of leadership, in one simple measure.

We All Have Feelings

© Anastasia Moser

I'm a human with feelings,
I can cry like the rest,
I have bruises that are healing,
and I deserve myself a rest.

I'm not sure how to say it, 
but I think we go too far,
we drag each other in it,
and we make of it a war.

We all get hurt in times like these,
even when you cannot tell,
but a human soul can break down peace,
and can get to where it seems like hell.

And when we fight each other off,
we wonder how it all started,
we don't know why we act so tough,
and why the friendships have been parted.

But don't you see what words can do?
That we humans all can feel,
it can split us into two,
and it takes time for us to heal.

SOMETIMES, I JUST CAN'T

TELL ANYBODY HOW I REALLY FEEL

NOT BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHY

NOT BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW MY PURPOSE

NOT BECAUSE I DON'T TRUST THEM

BUT BECAUSE I JUST CAN'T FIND 

THE RIGHT WORDS TO MAKE THEM

UNDERSTAND.
