I just want to pay tribute to one of the boldest, creative, go-getter's I have the pleasure of knowing. I know this will make you cry Naki, but oh well! I'm proud of you and all of your accomplishments. You continue to grow daily and you're one of the few people who dream as big as I do. With you, fear seems to be incomprenhensible and "no" is really just backwards for"on." A book, CD, countless audiences, the radio station, poetry galore. Continue to follow your dreams.
For those of you who don't know Naki, you will. Not only does she roll with the punches and embrace what God sends her way, she is extremely proud of who she is and where she comes from. No one would ever know she was so fragile if she weren't so transparent. It's a part of her beauty.
So even if I can't stay up long enough to hear the show & have never made it to the Ground Level (yet) to see it all unfold, know that I'm a great supporter of you- Naki.
I hope you don't mind. (I know you won't.) Just trying to put you out there.
He calls me Friend~ Naki Akrobettoe
You called me friend, leaving me speechless
A discreteness in your approach, grabbed
Ahold of me, leaving me in this tug of war position,
Trying to figure out which voice to listen, too?
Did I forget to mention the dark nights
When I tossed and turned hoping to sink deep
Within my sheets. There you were holding me,
Rocking me to my best sleep.
Or even better, I could never forget the countless times,
"I give up" became my motto, you stepped in as a
Trusting man, loyal hand, that pure image I could follow
And even when I pouted, shouted, kicked and screamed,
You sent angels in the form of friends who loved me enough
To remind me of my ultimate dream.
Often times I would forget to acknowledge your presence,
And I regret not realizing a long time ago
that "you alone" was the true blessing, what a lesson learned.
Because it could never get any better than you,
To have a friend see me through to victory
To assist me in leaving my legacy, just to impart my own bit of history.
See you called me friend, left me speechelss
Because I reniged many times on my word surrendering to my weakness,
The flesh, I confess,
All along you possessed the meakness, compassion, never lacking the discipline,
Intricate in your detail to ensure that all things worked for my good,
All along before me is where you stood,
Tall and gentle
A living temple
That I've grown to enter daily,
Overwhelmed cause you have nursed me since I was a baby.
And you treat me like a lady,
Truly keeping me from darkness,
Because your #1 priority is my saftey
I often wonder how I can ever repay thee?
Because of you, I'm simply able to be me,
Living breathing walking smiling…FREE.
And though the words can't begin to capture
Half of what I feel for you,
Agape always shines true
And just to know you call me friend,
Lets me know I can count on you
When all else fails and not a another souls stands
There you will be friend,
Holding my hand.
