I would be true, for there are
those who would trust me;
I would be pure, for there are
those who care;
I would be strong, for there are
those who suffer;
I would be brave, for there is
much to dare,
I would be friend to all—the foe,
the friendless;
I would be giving, and forget the
gift;
I would be humble, for I know my
weakness;
I would look up, and laugh, and
love, and lift.
John C. Maxwell, Developing the Leader Within You.
