A Life To Remember, Mandela Madiba

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
