Nelson Mandela
Was a man with a vision
Even though it was a struggle
He carried on with his mission
He fought for justice
He fought for equality
He never gave up hope
His presence was a pleasure for all to see
He has now sadly passed away at the age of ninety-five
But, his legacy will live on
Many ideas roamed through his mind
From dusk until dawn
With inner strength and vitality
He was able to overcome many obstacles
He took a fall but, then he rised
He kept his eyes on the prize
He was a great leader
He fought for the people
He had a strong will
Many hearts are now at a standstill
