To the lonely leader… misunderstood, accused, taken for granted,
To the lonely leader… in need of rest, affirmation, and refreshment,
To the lonely leader… acting under conviction, working long hours, doing heroic deeds no one ever sees,
To the lonely leader… the moms, the dads, the teachers whose honor is their sacrifice,
To the lonely leader… no good thing comes without a fight,
To the lonely leader… remember those who have gone before and take heart—the world turns quickly, but people change slowly,
To the lonely leader… you are not truly alone—God watches over those who serve, those who love, those who dream of what could be, those who cry aloud in the night,
To the lonely leader… the righteous will see the light—
To the lonely leader, persevere and endure. The One who is in you has overcome the world.
