Illiana Starr
October 7th we was greeted with a burst of delight;
And the starr, shimmering like the city at dusk,
So beautiful!
But the day we left your mother at the birthing center,
I was uneasy and panicky,
My heart throbbed aloud,
But when I got the word that you have been conveyed securely in to the world,
I wore a smile so bright,
Primed to gladly receive my radiant light.
Eliyana, my God has answered!
And there you was;
With little feet and tiny hands,
Your eyes were closed and yet you was ensnaringly beautiful,
Gentle and soft our cuddly toy!
Eliyana! Our bundle of joy!
I am happy to see you glowingly alive,
May you grow to be a woman of sturdy piety,
And find way through the mystery of life,
I pray to be there to share the journey with you.
