Illiana Starr Poem by Mpho Leteng

Leaving her mother at the birthing center,
My heart throbbed with unease and fear,
But when I heard she arrived safe and sound,
A smile lit up, wiping away every tear

On October 7th, Illiana Starr was born,
A burst of delight, a Starr shining bright,
Solely captivating all who adorn,
Her presence, a beacon of pure light

Eliyana, a gift from above,
With tiny feet and hands so small,
Her closed eyes, a canvas of love,
A precious bundle, captivating us all

Enshrined within my heart's pure sanctuary,
Illiana, our radiant ray of light,
May she grow in faith and clarity
Navigating life's mysteries with all her might

I pray to walk beside her every step,
As she blooms into a woman so divine,
Illiana Starr, in my heart forever kept,
Our joy, our treasure, for long time.
