For Nelson Mandela

August 23, 2013

The struggle

You've been in some time

But you continue to

Fight through it

Your legacy

Will never be forgotten

You will never be let down

God never has

And he won't this time

Trust in Him

He will make it better

We'll never forget

The sacrifices you've made

Not just for South Africa

But all over the world

You're a hero

To many people

Including me

Inspirational

I respect the fact

That you're not afraid

To speak

And stand up

For what is right

Your family

And people of the world

Keep your hopes up

Through prayer

And blessings

Your spirit

Will be lifted

When your life is over

You shall be remembered

As one of the most influential

And greatest people

In history

Thank you Madiba

For everything

And may God bless you
