A father of our nation
A father of determination
A light to the children that brighten the dark days
A man who destined freedom
through strive and struggle
A man of courage
who spoke words that lift the spirits of:
mothers who give births in squatter camps,
the homeless and parentless children,
and life prisoners
He is Rolihlahla which meant troublesome
but he was a peace maker
He fought to make a difference
Whenever life put him to the ground
He stood up every time and ran to his people
Utata Nelson Mandela

Today it's his day...We celebrate it with him wherever he is
