A bouquet of poems for the First Lady


1.

```

Nelson Mandela’s sky-climbing aspiration

Finally won.

O First Lady, you were your rejection;

Nelson Mandela was his aspiration.

You were your objection;

Nelson Mandela was his aspiration.

You were your hesitation;

Nelson Mandela was his aspiration.

Finally, his aspiration and your illumination

Together won the race.

Impossibility surrenders; impossibility smiles.

Impossibility’s surrender-smile is exquisite. ```
