A Letter For You

I'm sorry, I know this letter is a little late But I already wrote it so I'm sending it anyway I should drop it off myself and tip the bouncer at heaven's gate maybe he'll let me in and I'll read it out to your face I saw your picture trending, I got excited Then I saw #RIP and I just couldn't like it a woman like you is timeless but sadly not immortal God should add an extra day for every human that you fought for So many memories just rolling down my eyes and if I wipe them off I might forget the better times I mean they're all over my face there's no place for them to hide emotions on child lock I can't open up from inside but am trying My dad spoke a lot about you I remembered The media too but I like my father's version better he got so poetic it make her cry when he said it he spoke about your grace your beauty it made my mum jealous Y'all resembled each other So blessed, so perfect, so unreal, So worth it you great things deserving Multitasking, How are you a queen and servant You can afford to pay respect cause First you earned it you didn't see black and white you saw the colours of equality The shade of democracy You paved over the poverty your artistry is so in tune with modesty and honesty Those are the same ideas that polished me I tried to keep this letter short I know you must be busy having dinner with the Lord while Madiba's watching sports did he miss you I'm sure it feels like your first date Is he happy to have you home for his Hundredth birthday I should probably leave now I should let you get some rest put your feet up and destress And don't worry about us because of you we struggle less still not free but we are blessed Still too black but nonetheless, Human And may your kids be taken care of May they live as long as you You raised the rest of us so well I hope they got to know you too I hope you read this letter for the other icons in the room we never got the chance to say we love them too 2nd of April and a great show ends and you can spread your little angel wings added to the angel list Of the greatest who ever graced the Earth how does it feel to give a nation birth. Goodbye
