this one is from the heart
naz, i respect your golden courage
to boldly somersault into the ring
you are a brave, tricky wren
i look up to your superior skill
and your discipline is a wonder
leopard-skin shorts and bright blue gloves
i love the spark
you brought to
the sport of boxing
i prize your trophies
that you won, so enthusiastically
for britain and the yemen
you put yourself on a pedestal
you are perfectly supreme
my sporting hero
we love,
idolize,
and applaud you
you are the people's friend
world champion
blessed by the angels
and the very best i've ever seen
