Who Else Can It Be? Poem by Mantho Joyce Zandi Koveya

She is the Love of my Life
The Apple of my Eye
The Flesh of my body
The Beat of my Heart
The Breath that I take
The Reason why I Smile
She’s my all, for incomplete I can be without her
Who else can it be,
If not my One and Only Beloved Daughter
Oratile 'Roxy' Koveya

Contentedly, my heart beat
With her tiny little body cuddled in my hands
June 16, the year 1990, was a special day
Hearing the soft sound of her first cry
Like a whisper to my ear saying - 'Mum, I'm here'
Touching those little soft fingers,
Caressing those velvety round chicks
Feeling the warmth of her flesh against my bosom
Hearing the sound of her heart beating,
So tenderly and softly
Who else can it be,
If not my One and Only Beloved Daughter
Oratile 'Roxy' Koveya

Having her is such a Blessing
Having her is such a joy
Happiness is what she brings into my life
Joy is what she brings into my being
Contentment is what I have, to have her
For when I look at this lovely creation of the Almighty
I see nothing, but my mirror
And, I smile, smile, smile and smile
Who else can it be,
If not my One and Only Beloved daughter
Oratile 'Roxy' Koveya

Amiable and charming she is to me
For the joy she brings me is immeasurable
Happiness has become part of my heart
Delight has become part of my thoughts
Her being has made my life absolute
And Whoa, I say, “What a wonderful gift from God”
And all the honor and glory I bestow to HIM
For this precious gift he lovingly gave to me
Who else can it be
If not my One and only Beloved daughter
