In Less Than A Year

Wild child in the extreme, young and unbound

With a habit of burning my world to the ground

Reveling in constant chaos without ever looking back

Until the moment a simple little test knocked me off track

Given less than forty weeks to to come to grips

Have to plan, prepare, watch as the sanity slips

Bought a crib and a cradle, time ticked away so fast

Not ready to relegate my freedom to days in the past

Spent all those months disconnected, unsure and numb

A flash of pain woke me, suddenly the reality had come

A whirling vortex of hospital scrubs and beeping machines

Trying to cope but releasing several loud cursing screams

In my arms in an instant making everything else fade away

It all changed completely and we were both born that day
