tiny angel

so this story

is about a really close friend of mine

i love you

brother

my mates talk shit about their wives

but i love mine

yeah we fight sometimes

but ain't that just life?

she's been pregnant now for some time

it took us years

and enough tries

i thought it wouldn't happen from my young life

from the drunk times

or when i tried drugs twice

i thought downstairs had gone and messed it up

right

the doctor told me that i need to stop stressin'

the only thing that's working against us is just time

that was true

two months by

my wife called me up while i was workin' at the pub

right

she told me i was gonna be a daddy

we both broke down

she said there's something that i done right

i called my mother

told her i was gonna be a father

mum cried

so did i

i was tongue-tied

i can't explain this feelin' but i love life

i've never had a purpose and this had just become mine

to create this little person that's fun size

a little bit of her

and a little bit of me

but i pray he gets his mum's eyes

i say he 'cause i've always wanted a son

right

the ultrasound said it's a boy

my little ray of sunshine

it dawned on me

i can't wait to see my son rise

you know what they say about time though? it does fly

fast forward nine months and suddenly it's crunch time

it's been a few days of goin' through contractions

gotta stopwatch timin' every moment that it happens

we reached five minutes so it's hospital time

i call ahead to see the doctors arrive

my wife's laughin'

now i properly drive like the cops are behind

but there was barely any traffic so we got there in time

i'm a little scared

but she ain't got a worry in sight

she's a warrior

exactly what you want in a wife

it's been several days of epic pain

every day she wakes up

finally she's comin' to that second stage of labour

i sit next to her

squeeze on her hand

put a sponge up on her head and say

breathe if you can
