I will tell him that he comes
from this country
Where his father was a
treefeller
And that the East also runs in
his veins
And that such mixes make very
beautiful children
That he is strong and very much
alive
I will tell him that he was born
of love
That we were waiting for him
with excitement
That every night makes way for
a new day
That he will grow up one day
but he still has got time
Yes my lord, he still has got
time
And that life may call to him,
and that the world will await
him
And that earth is that beautiful
and the sky so large
That he is beautiful and that I
love him, that he's my life, my
joy
That he is one amongst millions
of people
But for me he's a one-of-a-kind
I will tell him that you have to
learn everything here inside
The good, the bad and even
happiness
That he shall never loose his
eyes of a child
In front of all the ugliness and
tragedy
That he shall always look with
the help of his heart
I will tell him to behave well
and to be careful
To brush against ice and fire
To get a taste of everything but
never to be dependent on
anything
That very little things could be
worse
Oh only very few things could
be worse
And that life may call to him,
and that the world will await
him
And that earth is that beautiful
and the sky so large
That he is beautiful and that I
love him, that he's my life, my
joy
That he is one amongst millions
of people
But for me he's a one-of-a-kind
I will tell him the songs and the
poems
That there's no love without
trouble
That happiness is a seed that
you sow
That you can't buy love and
health
And that those things are the
only riches you have
I will tell him that one day
another woman
Will come and love him and that
he will love her
That I will die out of happiness
and of tears
But that we will be there step
after step
That that is life and its rules
And that life may call to him,
and that the world will await
him
And that earth is that beautiful
and the sky so large
That he is beautiful and that I
love him, that he's my life, my
joy
That he is one amongst millions
of people
But for me he's a one of a kind

Hello Nairalanders
i have been reading comments and posts, on tv and other social sites mourning Nelson Mandela. But then i ask myself this question, should we actually be mourning or celebrating him? In my opinion, i see him as a great icon, a man who has set a pace not only in Africa but the world at large, he should be celebrated... I stand to be corrected in your comments please, what do you think?

[b][/b] hello my people, let us discuss about this if you see reasons with me
