Dear Father of the Nation

You lead this nation to hold hands; You inspired peace, even on foreign sands. You are the world’s most respected man; You’ve encouraged dreams, and the words: “I can”. Now that you walk on Heaven’s shores; And live in a home with God’s hand-made doors; We pray, that we can make you look down and smile; As we pass on your legacy, through the generation aisle. Dear Nelson Mandela, may peace now be with you; And thanks for your love; From: A global family, missing You.
