Happy Freedom Day to every fellow South African scattered around the globe today… 🇿🇦
I extend this to every person in the world during this testing time for many, it is a poem that virtually every South African is very familiar with, which I think is very fitting during these moments of health and economic crisis.
May we all continue to persevere with determination through this time until such time in the future, that we may all enjoy our freedoms once again in health, wealth and happiness. I hope this poem lands within you well and is felt within your heart and mind as it has done for many in the past.
Please be sure to share it with a friend who may so need it during this time.
————————————————
Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.
In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.
Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds and shall find me unafraid.
It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll,
I am the master of my fate,
I am the captain of my soul.
– Invictus by William Ernest Henley
