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
