What Now?

What Now ? 




" You are not like the others", They say. The neighbours say that you are not like their 
babies. 



You don't smile, you don't look at me when I am feeding you. This is not true I keep telling 
myself. "You will grow out of it,let me just give you one more month to develop more. 



The month has passed and you are the same. I think it's time to go get some advice from 
the doctor,after she has examined you she seats me down and says;"Mrs. Brown,your child 
is not like the other babies". I shake my head and ask."What now"?.
