A1.1 Read the poem and answer the
questions that follow: [8 marks]
THE LEADER
1. Patient
and steady with all he must bear,
Ready to meet every challenge with care,
Easy in manner, yet
solid as steel,
Strong in his faith,
refreshingly real.
5. Isn't afraid to propose what is bold,
Doesn't conform to
the usual mould,
Eyes that have foresight,
for hindsight won't do,
Never backs down when he sees what is true,
Tells it all
straight, and means it all too.
10. Going forward and knowing he's right,
even when doubted for
why he would fight,
Over and over he
makes his case clear,
reaching to touch the ones who won't hear.
Growing in strength
he won't be unnerved,
15. ever assuring he'll stand by his word.
Wanting the world to
join his firm stand,
Bracing for war, but
praying for peace,
Using his power so
evil will cease,
So much a leader and
worthy of trust,
20. Here stands a man who will do what he must.
