Madiba Mandela

Madiba Mandela
Fearless and Brave
A man for all seasons
Left us so many reasons
To cry, To laugh
Celebrate
Agitate

Madiba Mandela
You’ve come and
Given us a compass
Planted within us
a perspicacious prose
written in a tongue the heart only knows

Madiba Mandela
Now you’ve left us
with mouths wide open shut
With a longing, and indefinable stirring of gut

Madiba Mandela
We want to reclaim you
But you say no
“I’ve given you enough”
Madiba Madiba – it’s true
You’ve Left us in disguise
Something Stronger Than Pride

Madiba Mandela
We heard the sound of gates 
Flung wide open as they lifted up their heads
To let you in
We saw the silent nod 
From your Maker
And we understood

Madiba Mandela
Mover and Shaker
Of the Earth
Heartbreaker
Soul Whisperer


Madiba Mandela
Ninety Five
Minus Twenty Seven
Equals the lifetime
It took To fulfill the Book

Madiba Mandela
We Muse
about you and
The One
Who Fashioned you in love
And sent you from eternity
With an open Love letter
Written and imprinted by a sacred Hand

Madiba Mandela
We’ve read and We understand
All the writings on the wall of your prison cell
You were sent.... 

You came 
Like a conquering soldier
You've Left us.....
To tell The perpetual Love Story
Of the fearless and the brave

Tribute to Madiba
