Happy 12th Birthday Jacob

12 years ago the world was a very different place
The World Trade Center stood tall above the Manhattan skyline
George W Bush was just a few months into his first term
And a little boy entered this world and changed my life forever

There was a baby boom that weekend in Stamford
And not a bed was to be found in the new Maternity Ward
Go home, they said, come back in a few hours
So it was off to Burger King we went to eat and return

After many hours of waiting out you popped
Giving us a scare as we waited for your first breath and scream
Eventually it came, soon enough, announcing to the world your arrival

And in that moment changing me from Man to Father
