GODSPEED Tata Madiba

NELSON MANDELA :
A rare gift to humanity.
A shining ray of hope..
A symbol of reconciliation and forgiveness.
You dedicated your life to a single cause.
Reuniting South Africa.

I visited your country.
At a time of great turmoil.
While you were still imprisoned.
I traveled around its dusty roads for 6 weeks.
Making friends with blacks and whites, and
I know it’s heartbreaking beauty.

After the screening of Invictus,
You whispered to Morgan Freeman,
“Now perhaps people will remember me.”
Indeed, they will.

You are one of my true heroes.
Thank you for shining the light.
