‘Man's goodness is a flame that can be hidden but never extinguished’
Mandela – 1994, Long Walk to Freedom


Poem Artwork


 
The world lost Nelson Mandela’s beacon of light today
We now shine without him guided by his ways
A teacher of magnificence, a noble king
Embodying equality and unity, embracing all kin

His life was our lesson, he taught us so well
Hail Nelson Mandela: we will blossom from your spell
While living on earth, you showed us love’s worth
Our mentor of freedom, goodness, and mirth

This is truly a "Wonderful tribute written for a wise man,
Mr. Mandela. Truly every word you wrote about him describes this exceptional man. He was chosen. God used him to do a wonderful job
here in this Universe. He is gone but not forgotten.
Thanks for the well-written tribute.

One of so many tributes that he has and will continue to receive. I know some people who were fortunate to meet him and have their picture taken with him. Those pictures became their greatest treasures, as if Mandela's accomplishments could rub off by association. They all sought his mentorship in their own struggles.

Wonderful.

The man suffered for many years, but within his suffering he kept the flame of humanity within his soul.
