Rolihlahla Madiba

Three things are important
In the life cycle of a man.
The morning, the noon and the evening time.
He cultivated and sowed the seeds of greatness
In labour, in kindness, in words and in deed
Suffered injustice
That he may rise. up from the ashes of shame
To the glory for which he was called
Suffered love lost
From a life long partner
But married a best friend
To reinstate that love is not a physical issue
But a plant that grows from the heart.
He carried a spirited spirit
Unblemished even.in death
Oh Madiba, the Mandela of Africa.
