780. If I am to lead

```

If I am to lead,

I must touch others’ feet first.

If I am to guide,

I must wash others’ feet first.

If I am to lead,

I must kiss others’ feet first.

If I am to guide,

I must become others’ feet first.

And then alone

Can I be the Leader

And Guide of Divinity’s Smile

And Humanity’s pride. ```
