    16/10/2024, from my loins
    A bouncing baby braved this harsh world
    Gen, my son, was born.
    So chubby & warm like the midwife
    Yes, the beautiful queen that gave him life
    With hopeful expectations, we received our hope
    Daddy's cheerleader & engine—
    He was named Gen,
    Hope right from Conception
    Wherever life takes mum & dad, the Lord remains our judge.
    We named him Daniel
    Yes, Dan from the biblical teachings
    Laruni's first grandson; he just had to carry the name Odong
    The great man Pasquale from Adilang.
    Gen Daniel Odong, welcome to the zero breast milk chapter.
