I am Nia Imani

I am Nia

Which means purpose in Kiswahili

For I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me

God knew that I was a child of his own

And that I would strive to be like him

So I was given a name with direction

I am purpose

I speak intentionally

I act ambitiously

I watch observantly

I listen intently

I plan carefully

Surely, I was gifted with a reason

so I behave with a purpose

I am Imani

Which means faith in Kiswahili

The assurance of things hoped for

God knew that I was a child of his own

And that I would strive to be like him

So I was given a name associated with loyalty

I am faith

I talk truthfully

I behave humbly

I read routinely

I cry sincerely

I pray intentionally

Surely, I was blessed with mercy

so I live by faith

I am that little girl with dreams and aspirations

With plans and the desire to fulfil them

The girl who who can’t help being sensitive

Because she loves and cares deeply

The girl who leads and works hard

Becauses her name requires her to

I am Nia Imani
