I have been thinking about ways of rewarding those whose lives have impacted society and individuals in a positive way. I have found it a difficult task to find a befitting gift for such people. The only reward they usually demand is “do the same for others”. So to save myself the trouble of looking for a gift that will not even march my gratitude, I wrote this poem. Enjoy!

Dear leader.
I am not under your wings
Yet you carry me.
I am but a life
Illuminated by your light,
Praise in my heart I sing,
A flower of gratitude I bring.
For one whose ways are not sin.
Though not a movie,
Your life I watch.
Though not recorded,
you remain a voice in my head.
When schooled by reality,
Your life remains an example.
My example by which I win
Feel like buying me some coffee?
This is a wonderful poem and a fitting tribute to the people you respect and admire.
