Poem
1918 you gave your first cry; And sprung into life's ups and downs; And turns and rounds; Many years into it; Your mind grew stronger; And your actions became wiser; Though Apartheid was the system; You still stood firm; In your fight from freedom; A very tough fight it was, but still; Your victory created a new era; Your triumph made life better; Your words of wisdom; like the sides of a sharp sword; Pierce into our hearts and inspires the world; Your humility and generosity; Your kindness and rare forgiveness; I cherish with all seriousness; Your leadership reminds me of Moses; Your faith reminds me of Abraham; Your passion for what you believe in reminds me of Paul; Your willingness to do whats right reminds me of Noah; And your endurance reminds me of Joseph; I could go on and on; I just hope our leaders would carry on; with these qualities you possesed; to leave the world at its best; And though you left us this December Your Legacies we will always remember Goodbye Mandela Madiba Few of his Quotes - "We must use time wisely and forever realize that time is always ripe to do right" - "It always seems impossible until it's done" - "Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world" Thought provoking yea? We sure would miss him. RIP Mandela, MUCH RESPECT.
