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
