DEAR HEAVEN,PLEASE SPARE US MADIBA

DEAR HEAVEN,PLEASE SPARE US MADIBA

Heaven has a legion of good men

Heaven has Father Abraham

It has Moses

It has John the Baptist

Lazarus, King Solomon and his father King David

Ruth and Naomi

Bartholomew, Mary Magdalene, Peter, John and Thomas

I’m not really sure of Idi Amin Dada, Adolf Hitler, Judas Iscariot,

Bonnie & Clyde, Foday Sankoh and Al Capone

But at least I’m quite certain of Mother Teresa,

Kenneth Hagin, my grandfather and my grandmother

Heaven is so enriched with great and wonderful people

Yet, the earth keeps losing its few good men to Heaven

The earth is in dire need of peaceful men

The earth needs more people with big hearts to forgive unconditionally

The earth badly needs men who abound in humility & love

Dear Heaven, you have all the best men in your bosom

Please spare us Nelson Madiba Rolihlahla Mandela for a second
