Icon For Hope Poem by sallam yassin

Pure song of love - yours
In a melody
to faith and love
In man's one heart - a leader of divinely touch in love
Of heaven - a haven and bliss
Who saved his nation
Out of calamity of hate
And tyranny of race
Ruins and howl of dreary
To home of rainbow
In trance
Diversity in harmony
Of love the sun of morn
Honor in rise, honor and rise
The dawn stretched to hope
Mandela an icon
In memory
His Images Still for hearts
For minds in doubts of dark
In Africa
for us Mandela
Still - a dare star of hope
At horizons in haul of time
