Smazogz Poems J

Baby Jabey

Our little Baby Jabey is such a splendid miniature chap

Laughing and almost speaking, bringing laughter aplenty

Always on top of the world, much loved by his Mum and Dad

Running around, playing shaking games with his head

From the moment he gets up, to the point at which he goes to bed

Milk is his favourite drink, into the teat his teeth sink

Quiet, happy and contented, he sits and suckles away

Off to a farmyard, feeding the ponies his sweets

Such a nice natured little lad, he brings a tear to my eye

Looking at him I now understand why

From that little red faced, screaming bundle, fresh from Mummy's tum

Into what he has become

He is a miracle in progress, divine as the Niagara falls

He is the apple of my eye, soaring above the highest walls

He is asleep after playing too much, his cot by our bed calls

He is dreaming now of today and tomorrow

Laughing in his dreams at the feats he has successfully undertaken

Clapping in self admiration as he clip clops and rocks back and forth

On top of the world, our wonderful sun, growing magnetic North

Then, on his second Christmas his little hands unwrap his own presents

Then, his delight ricochets from within his eyes, holding high his new toy

A squeaky, talking teddy bear is being smiled at and Jabe talks back

Absolutely filled to bursting with happiness as we look at each other and nod

We have created such a buoyant little creature, he is the biggest treasure in the world

Our little Baby Jabey comes running up, a warm cup of tea in his plastic, capped cup

Bouncing it up and down on the settee, making us wet and laugh out loud

It is impossible to tell that little, gleaming Baby Jabey off

His eyes are always full of laughter, unless he needs something

Walking up and down the garden path, pointing at the garden gnomes

We all love you Baby Jabey

You are so exceptional and so fine

It is wonderful to think that this family is mine
