American Leader
To become a good leader
Stand up for what is right
Don’t give up on your dreams
Though the effort may seem trite
Think of others before yourself
That’s how you gain respect
Watch out for negativity
You never know who you affect
A leader must retain
The ability to be led
They not only need to be sociable
But Well-versed and well-read
Good leaders watch what they say
And listen to what is said
They know when to encourage
They always look ahead
To be a good leader; work hard
But you don’t have to be strong
The most honorable quality you can possess
Is the ability to admit you’re wrong
Let our attitudes be inspiring
Stick it out through thick and thin
For all of us can lead
We just have to look within
