Excerpt

God’s Gift

I dedicate this poem to anyone who deals with or has dealt

with a relative who has or had special needs. You are not alone.

I know your pain. I know your struggle.

Having a child with special needs can be hard

at times to believe

God is the one who can fulfill their true destiny

It’s hard at times to comprehend why society judges them

But I stand to see how the Creator who made all men

Can do great things with them…

And they can make it like all men

The stares and the whispers in the stores, malls and

even in some homes

The special ones are God’s creation and yes they

are truly blessed

So I say to you it’s only a test, a test of your faith

Hold on and you will begin to see why they are here

The purpose the Almighty destined for them to be…

They are fearfully and wonderfully made

So take it day by day and remember to keep the faith

God’s Gift

Patience, love and kindness can be developed with a child

Who has certain challenges…

Begin to embrace what you continue to face

You will win in the end, especially if you show love to them

About Nataki Suggs

Nataki Suggs is a poet, author, wife and mother of two. Born and raised in the metropolitan Washington, DC area, Suggs began writing at a young age. By the age of eleven, she had already won first place in a poetry writing contest. When the prime of adolescence hit Suggs’ life, some experiences halted her knack for writing. However overcoming these same trials caused her to remember and rebirth her passion for writing.

Over the years, Suggs has used her writing as a therapeutic expression. Her poetry cries out to those who feel as if they are alone in their struggles and attempts to give them feelings of hope and freedom. Although she doesn’t hold a formal degree, she believes that overcoming trials are her greatest achievements. Through her works, it is her goal to invoke change in people’s lives.

In her spare time, she reads motivational books. She also finds time to volunteer for Hospice. Since another one of her passions is youth, she is currently a substitute teacher at Laurel High School of Prince George’s County, Maryland. In the midst of everything in her life, she always gives credence to the Lord Jesus Christ because without Him, she knows that she wouldn’t have a story to tell, a poem to write, or a life to live.

Suggs is the author of A Life Beyond Limits: Overcoming Private Pain which was published by Xpress Yourself Publishing in June 2007.
