Farewell Mandela

FAREWELL MANDELA F-From All around the lands on high A-Around the mounts and down the depths R-Resound the cries of loss untold E-Even the birds our lots have known W-We’ve lost a man that was great and bold E-Embedded in him was a heart of gold L-Like a child he’d forgive his offenders deeds L-Leaving a legacy great indeed M-Mandela, our leader of great repute A-A man that would quail a great dispute N-Never a soldier but wins a war D-Dignity, tenacity, and honor he wore E-Endearing to a nation and the world as a whole L-Lo, we’ve missed our man indeed A-And may his soul depart and rest in peace …Adieu, Mandela!, our Leader Great!
