Tata Madiba, I walk
your freedom path barefoot
because I know I will
never fill your shoes.
Hate still gravels many hearts
and though my soul is bruised
from rejection I climb another
mountain to share love.
Madiba, I light my candle
from the flame of your spirit
that the grave cannot extinguish.
Let me not cry for change
if I am not willing to become it.
Tomorrow will never be better
if I don’t do all I can for today.

Nelson Mandela was the world's mentor on how to bring change. May I follow in his steps to do what I can to bring change to my world.
I am sharing this again in 2018 in celebration of his birthday and to reaffirm to myself I must be better do better.
