Dalia
My daughter made her entrance
while in the heavens Hale Bop danced
We lived high up on a mountain
and the signs weren't great
the car had broken down again
I guess you'd call it fate
Is there room at the inn today?
Her father knocking on doors
pleading for a bed for us on any body's floors
Dolce the innkeeper s mother
She looked me eye to eye
And knew that we were ready
That kinda look don't lie
A big old key for a small barn door
Our maternity bed ,a few coats on the floor
So she was born in a barn that day
Amongst the bike bits,the crates and the hay
And the Angels sang
"Waaaaah" she exclaimed
as her sister poked her in the eye
making sure that she was real
And really was alive
"Happy birthday" cried the Bombaderros
With a smile that lit the gloom
"Your a little late " I mutter
and hugged my newest wee sweet bloom
Born strong my youngest daughter
Strong and Pure and True
and "Shut the bloody door" we shout
As she's scooting out the room
