The first of her kind
Ifeoma
Good thing
Strong mind
Kind heart
***
There is power behind the name
The unspoken strength
Of one born through resilience
And still learning to become soft

Failures can teach you as much as successes
Embrace your emotions with total abandon
Lean on them for comfort
***
Stand strong little one
Head high
Chin up
And fly
