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

A Life Beyond Limits: Overcoming Private Pain was dedicated to every teenager “who feels that they are forgotten, misunderstood or mistake,” says Nataki. A Life Beyond Limits: Overcoming Private Pain is filled with stories and poems based on Nataki’s personal experiences and journeys. I believe that Nataki did an excellent job in presenting her message. Both her stories and poems were very thought provoking, emotional and heart warming.
I like the way that her book, A Life Beyond Limits: Overcoming Private Pain was broken up into a story and poem to make it even more interesting for the reader. It was a very easy read. I think that anyone who has experienced what Nataki has experienced will relate very much to what has been underlined within the contents of her book, A Life Beyond Limits: Overcoming Private Pain. Congratulations Nataki on overcoming your pain, at the end of every journey or struggle, we all get back up again! Nataki, indeed represents the very same depiction and theory.
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.
