I remember bringing our eldest home from the hospital... Give me a sec... (blows dust from poetry section of brain)
The day was bright and sunny
The wind had hardly blown
It was like nature was holding its breath
Our baby was coming home.
I strapped the capsule in carefully
I checked every strap and belt
This was a monumentous occasion
But it was the most nervous that I'd felt.
Did I strap her in correctly?
Flippin' bloomin' bloody heck
I'd better just take a moment
To stop and have a check.

I pulled out so very carefully
Checked the traffic both ways
I checked the traffic once again
Adding to my wife's dismays.
Did I strap her in correctly?
Flippin' bloomin' bloody heck
I'd better just take a moment
To stop and have a check.
The speed limit was set at 60
I did 40 to be sure
But perhaps that was too slow
So, I added a little more.
I indicated with lots or warning
Braked very carefully
Used my mirrors more than ever before
And was as careful as I could be.

We arrived home without disaster
I lifted the capsule from the car
Carried it upstairs without incident
And released our little star.
Put her in her little bed
A crease across my brow
I wondered what I should be doing
What does one do now?
I looked at my darling wife
She smiled ruefully at me
I asked her what we should do now
She suggested a coffee.
The more things change, the more they stay the same. You'll be awesome parents.
Cheers
