Your captivity set us free
Your “peace” made us see
You, that gave us release
You, that gave us belief

You stood for us our stance
inherent right to take chance
in your shadows we glance
beyond limits we advance

A smile that yet wavered
of a strength so enabled
of a message so abled
to bring all of many to table

And in this memory we enter
the winter of such December
as your legacy left to render
the hope that we remember

We will never forget,
Rest in PEACE Nelson Mandela
