Baby Bomb

eleven September now seems quite apt
it was the very day our lives got high jacked
our life  on autopilot and easy 
now nappy shifts make me pretty queasy 

our baby exploded and in the haze 
a plus rocked changes in our party ways
late nights out vanished in a birth instant
because of our tiny little infant 

fights invade our small family manor 
life peace requires a medal of valour 
a Stonehenge resolve is what we now need 
and a pass key to Fort Knox to succeed 

baby blessing rewards our sacrifice 
her baby smiles cuts of heaven a slice

OMG....how touching James. There was I thinking it was going to be about 9/11.I suppose she is your own personal 9/11. You must live on one of those humongous farmlands in darkest outer South Africa?
