A Poem For Adalia Poem by Halalisani ImmaculatePleasure Mchunu

I beseeched God for a baby but instead He gave me an Angel,
soft skin like a white rose so beautiful,
I anxiously hate to lose a petal.
Your cute eyes were cloned from your mum,
and when i stare into them,
subliminally I dismiss from mind that we are governed by time.
Your pink lips recite purity everytime you smile,
im surely blissfull to have you as my child,
and I pledge to protect you even after the day you thread down the isle.
Your curled eyelashes consummate your eyelids like a cherry on the top,
Whilst your eyebrows are spot on like a shot fired by a top cop.
Those cheeks and chin are not synonymous to ours but they suit you well,
blessed with a forhead like your dad,
you will grow to be a wise and smart little girl.
Your earlobes are like an accessory,
God surely feels your beauty is a neccesity.
With Pitch Black hair that requires styling gel,
Nobody would have believed you are mine if your mum was a conniving jezabel.

Your birth was not a contraception malfunction,
that is why i hex you with love,
and make it part of your daily nutrition.
You have got my last name,
if you want to leave a legacy,
grow by being regulated by the definition of your name.
A father is always a daughters role model hence,
I promise never to lose a leg so that you can walk in my steps.
Read the Ten Commandments attentively,
then follow every single one respectively.
Make them your GPS through life's path,
will you ever know where you are going without a map?
so baby please do the math,
because if you ever had to deviate from them,
I chose not to spoil such an eloquent piece by adducing the aftermath.
Love Dad
