Destined To Lead

All ducks, line in a row,
leading to the point, of this transition,
Of which, has been bestow upon,
for one to decide, the choosing, of this position.

For reasons, unknown, none the less,
this chance wouldn't be given, at all.
However there is definitely a need, to be pursued,
and fear shouldn't prevent one from, taking the call.

Easy will not be this journey,
for the road being traveled ahead.
Having to become an extraordinary person, dealing with, 
and changing, what’s been done instead.

Having to consume every bit of time,
to alter each and every point of view.
In order to improve the lives, of the next generation,
who shouldn't have to live, as we once had to.

A legacy is then left, for the next one,
toward the challenge, for someone, to suddenly arise.
Who is able to stir, and make things happen,
and encourage people, to open up their eyes.
