You looked at me and said it’s time

The day would be yours and mine

Twenty miles to take you there

With no car the ride we’d share

-

Dad would drive and mom would go

It rained so hard we’d take it slow

Excited but so worried too

For the baby and for you

-

Dr. Marten got the call

He’d be there for you, after all

I didn’t know what to do

But I was happy to be with you

-

The pain you felt would come and go

But no tears did you show

Hours passed, excitement grew

I tried to sit and wait with you

-

But watching you cringe with pain

Was driving me almost insane

I couldn’t watch, I couldn’t leave

I couldn’t help, I couldn’t breath

-

In and out the room I’d walk

To ease my mind I’d talk and talk

Your mother came, your brother too

Just so show that they love you

-

Finally the moment came

Life would never be the same

Our son arrived and I was there

A day for fathers everywhere
