Malala Blog and Speech

You are Malala You have no more reason for fear For the world now holds you dear Your humble voice, speaking of others You too a pearl, adored by worldly mothers Touching the spirit of kindred souls You have shown our senior leaders A child can lead even the elders You have paved that way Humble of heart Joyous towards mankind Your smile is infectious I, a simple poet, applause you You have infected me too! You are Malala

She is as is Soup Admins, each doing their most not least, but at least doing and not complaining.

Thanks Tim, is certainly is a huge difference to people who write blogs only to hear their own voice and yet accomplish nothing.
