The true splendor of an individual is in the trail that they leave behind...after they are gone. Some are called of God to set an example for others to follow and they are filled with the timeless, persevering message of the Power of Love. I am inspired to write of such a man...NELSON MANDELA-1918-2013

See him...there standing his Royal Robe...glistening as never before/ there...on the high plains whole an exquisite work...finished no need for more/ Lo!...the beams which stream forth from him...brilliant and illuminating...touching the entire earth's ...fare/ to this perfect place he was lead, guided...yes, drawn through many a solitary...year/ Within the walls of tyranny this mighty instrument was...indeed set free/ His heart encrypted with a message not just for a party...but for the world's relieve/ Ah...Madiba! He was the fruition of an excellent plan... the fruits of which will continualy litter our global land/ His birth? honorable...his education? fine his activism? remarkable...his presidency? sublime!/ However...it was not for these former things that his 'platform' was built but for now...when God's love that filled him would become humanity's lilt/ See him there...savoring the victory the message for home and far is plain... not violence...but only love can break the oppressive chain/ Yes...see him there! High upon eternal's tower basking...in what love alone could do in this... His Finest Hour! Isaiah 6:8 copyright;jmsbell12/7/2013

I don't think I will ever read a more fitting and beautiful tribute Joyce. He will be missed for he was a gift from God to the world.
