The Man With A Giant Heart Poem by Therveshree Canniappen

With his giant hands,
he reached out to our nation
As he blessed us with the gift of freedom

With his giant smile,
he comforted our nation
As he assured us the gift of inclusion

With his giant personality,
he cheered on our nation
As he showed us that the gift of peace unites a kingdom

With his giant mind,
he educated our nation
As he taught us that the gift of forgiveness is the solution

With his giant heart,
he loved our nation
As he reminded us that his gift of the long walk has ended,
while ours has only just begun.
