Tribute to Madiba We always knew this time would come, But you're never really prepared for the loss of a loved one, Even though we've never met, What you've done for us I'll never forget, Your legacy that u leave behind, Will always be in my heart & mind, For 27 years u were sentenced to isolation, Whoever thought a boy from Qunu would become the father of our nation, So brave and so strong, Even through your trials and tribulations u still carried on, Everyone in the world knew your name, And a few months ago when u fell ill we all felt your pain, The whole world loved u, There wasn't anything u couldn't do, U were a family man, Who wasn't afraid to take a stand, U loved meeting people & shaking their hand, U were a great man indeed, U loved helping people in need, Your birthdays u never spent alone, U always invited kids to your home, And u treated them like they were your own, U were extremely funny, And u loved giving charities money, People love supporting your 46664 campaign, Because there's so much power in your name, Your “Madiba Magic” is a part of our history, It helped us with our 1995 Rugby World Cup victory, Even in 2010 u brought the Soccer World Cup to our shore, That was your Madiba Magic working once more, We can't thank u enough for all that you've done, Goodbye Nelson Mandela Tata Madiba our African Son, Thank u for bringing our nation together, Your legacy & memory will last forever...
