My Boss Is: A Bosses Day Poem

My boss is a coach,
Someone who helps me believe I can -
Fix any problem.

My boss is a question asker,
Helping me find the right answers
To questions I didn’t know I should be asking.

My boss is a mentor,
Showing me the way to do things right -
The first time.

My boss is a partner,
Asking for my help when she knows I can help -
And encouraging me to do the same.

My boss is a confidant,
Someone I can ask any question -
And not feel one bit stupid for asking.

My boss is all of this – and more
And for that I am grateful
For I can achieve more with her help
Than I could by myself.

Happy Bosses Day boss! Thanks for being a great boss!
