FATHER WARRIOR TEACHER
On the face of such a gentle soul... Eminating Wisdom.. caring... Loving.. Intelligent...
You held these Titles and showed us by your actions.. Your Tenacity through Pain and Incarceration..
Your wisdom to
OVERstand, Oversee and Orchestrate the reconciliantion of mixed masses of the Human Community
Your capacity to forgive despite the injustice... the pain.. the crimes...
Madiba I grew up knowing about the injustice against you.. I remember the song "Free Nelson Mandela"..
My Earliest knowledge of Racism.. Apartheid.. left me Stupefied and confused as a child.. wondering why the hate.. SO MUCH HATE! And why against my kind....
But there you were.. Our Warrior..my light.. our light..
At your first opportunity.. you didnt hit back but you reached out...
You didnt complain .. you embraced and taught us to seek reconciliation.. and to let love fill our hearts...
Echoing the teachings of our Lord.. you were indeed an ambassador ..
Thank you for everything.. your legacy lives on..thank you... I will miss you Sir.
