Father of the Nation

Father of the Nation,
Today I am deeply saddened by such a loss,
That even words cannot express exactly what I want to say,
We’ve lost an angel,
All we can do is pray,
Father of the Nation,
To many of us, You are an inspiration,
Your words, willingness, courage, wisdom, has most definitely got to be our strongest motivation,
You’ve fought for our rights,
You’ve sacrificed so much,
Twenty seven years of your life,
For people you personally did not even know,
Alone by that, it shows the type of man you were,
We can honestly say an angel has definitely lightened our lives by his magic touch,
For the many years you’ve endured all that pain and suffering fighting for us,
You truly deserve to be at peace,
May you be close to God,
May the Almighty Lord,
Always guide, protect and keep everyone safe, and together as you have,
Condolences to everyone,
Father of the nation,
You may be no more,
But your, teachings, love, kindness, courage, shall live on forever more,
We love you and will miss you,
Rest in peace beloved Tata Mandela,
Father of our nation,
1918 - 2013

Dedicated to the former president Nelson Mandela who passed away on the 5th of December 2013.
