Niķki

I look in the mirror and see where I’ve been

The chapters and stories right under my skin

Taking a breath, letting memories play

Through all of the shadows and into the day

Niķki, you've walked through the dust and the rain

Finding the beauty inside of the pain

So here are the heartfelt words I need to say

To the soul that I'm walking with every day

You are patient and kind, you are so full of love

When the road gets too heavy, you rise up above

Through all of these special, defining years

You kept on going and conquered the fears

It’s a quiet reflection, just me and my mind

Leaving the rush of the world far behind

I’m taking a moment to honor the past

And the quiet endurance that I built to last

I gave out my heart and I learned how to grow

Taking it steady and taking it slow

So here are the heartfelt words I need to say

To the soul that I'm walking with every day

You are patient and kind, you are so full of love

When the road gets too heavy, you rise up above

Through all of these special, defining years

You kept on going and conquered the fears

It's easy to give all your grace to the rest

To put your own spirit right to the test

But now I am turning that kindness around

Planting my own two feet on the ground

I'm learning to hold myself gentle and true

And give all that loving right back to you

With these heartfelt words that I needed to say

To the soul that I'm walking with every day

Niķki, you're patient, you're kind, and you love

When the road gets too heavy, you rise up above

Through all of these special, defining years

I'm proud of the heart that conquered the fears
