Legend for The World
Mandela’s memory
Remains forever alive
In the hearts and minds
Of people whose lives

In those who honour
His dedication, courage and vision
Of a non-racist, equal opportunity

As hope and inspiration
For what he brought to this world
And the bequest he left behind
For everyone
