Baby Zay

today my sweet zayden was your special day,

it was the day that your daddy gave you, your very first blessing.

you were dressed in white with a bow tie,

a bow tie that matched your brothers, 

it symbolises the special bond that only the three of you will share,

an unbreakable and ever lasting one that will descend into the eternities.

you looked so handsome,

i couldn't help but try and capture everything about this moment,
your small hands and tiny fingers,
your little ears so perfectly placed,
your nose that resembles your dad's and papa.
your innocent eyes that gaze around exploring the world in which you now live.

your dad held you so lovingly as he walked you to the front of the chapel,
that was the last glimpse i got of you as your uncles and grandfathers formed a circle which centred around you.
the words of your blessing were beautiful and one day will bring you the strength you need to keep going on.
i will never forget the spirit that was there that day, it was so strong and profound.
i love you baby zay and i don't think at this moment in time,
the amazing and strong child of god you are about to become.

you will grow up one day into a man but my dear son you will always be my child.
