I Want To Be Like Mandela

I want to be like Mandela

Selfless,

A fighter for truth and what is just,

I want to be like Mandela,

I want to learn how to forgive,

I want to learn how to embrace those who fight me,

I want to learn how to live with hope.

I want to be like Mandela,

I want to learn how to embrace different colors,

Because we are one people,

I want to help unite nations,

We have one life to live.

I want to be like Mandela,

A leader with a vision,

A leader with foresight,

A force to reckon.

I want to be like Mandela

That even in the face of adversity,

I will stand strong,

That not even death will scare me.

I am convinced you are just resting

Till we meet again,

I will live to celebrate you.

REST IN PEACE MANDELA
