Baby
by Breagh MacNeil
Bright and beautiful inside and out
Another life blessed into this world
Born with lots to learn
Young and full of energy
My baby boy’s name is Damarcus Jaziah. He was born on October 18. He is now 6 months old. He has big brown eyes and dark brown hair. He is a very bright boy, and he loves to play games. His favourite book is Theodore, The Tug Boat. I read it to him every night before he goes to sleep. He can sleep through the night till the morning, and in the morning he is full of energy. In the evening I give him a bath; he laughs and splashes in the water. He is always laughing, and full of happiness. I’m blessed to have him as my son.
