My Noble Name... and Me

Adey is attractive bold and beautiful
Daring, diligent, dogged and dutiful,
Eschew evil and dissociate the deceitful
Interested in inspiring others, free not forceful
Teachable, tender, trustworthy and truthful
Ebullient, ecstatic, cute and colorful

African at heart, I’m cool and careful
Do not like the bully and the boastful
Encourage the sick and the sorrowful
Love a woman that is wise and wonderful
Endure the times that are poor and painful
Kind to both the faithful and the fearful
Endeared to the elders who are watchful
