A Nelson Mandela Tribute

"You're my girl!" He smiled at her with uncontainable excitement. She caught his drift but didn't fully understand what he meant.
He came to her when she was at her lowest. She tried to conceal her emotions in front of him but he read her like an open book. 
She could hear the muffled tone behind his laughter and knew he felt her pain. It hurt her more. 
"You're imprisioned when you feel as if you have or are capable of hurting others my child." He spoke in a strong, deep tone. "It's in your best interest to make it your daily intention to live with joy." 


"I would like to be remembered not as anyone unique or special, but as part of a great team in this country that has struggled for many years, for decades and even centuries," he said. "The greatest glory of living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time you fall." -Nelson Mandela
