Michael

Life's a funny thing, you know that my son
Night you're in the pit, next day in the sun

Before you came in, my life was a pain
I earned like crazy, but nothing to gain

My life was a mess, with little relief
I was going through, hard into a reef

It was hell 'n despair, no heaven on earth
My life was nothing, agony of curse

Thirty fifth birthday, everythin' then changed
Mom and I made vows, so all was arranged

We expected you, on Valentine's Day
But you decided, do it your own way

You then came in but, fortnight in advance
Ten hours labor, it was left to chance

You were mashallah, pass five kilogram
So we had to go, live on instagram

The stories were shown, and friends were watching
That magical moment, you just came barging

We were so much thrilled, when we heard your scream
You were gigantic, crying filled with cream

Your smile glittered, diamonds in the night
It was a sweet bliss, born out of the light

Oh twinkle twinkle, my sweet little star
What a miracle, that you beam so far

I remember well, the day you were born
It was a winter, but here was warm

Moments you arrived, from so high above
You brought the laughter, the light and the love

Your arms then reached out, to heavens as wings
I knew then the Lord, had sent down his kings

And so I called you, my angel Michael
For you were fair, life is a cycle

We came from the light, so we shall return
We are his angels, so we'll never burn

We're not from the land, Heaven be our home
We shall fly back soon, return to the dome

Remember my son, God's always here
He'll be there to help, always so near

Pray and thank him well, for all that you own
It's all a good test, you've taken a loan

Nothing here can be, private property
To him all returns, that's prosperity

So I looked above, raised my hands to pray
Couldn't keep my tears, from dropping array

Held you in my arms, and felt time had paused
Stopped for a moment, wonder what had caused

Your presence holy, the room was so bright
I could sense the Lord, he made it all right

You were strong from roots, just like an oak tree
Grown out of a seed, bearing fruits to be

Your smile is just gold, a precious portrait
Your laughter just kills, dagger digs down straight

Now you're almost one, your birthday's near
You're growing up fast, will I live? I fear

The way now you toddle, all around the house
I could hear squeal, you're just like a mouse

The way you get up, fast after a fall
Can see you standing, I know you'll be tall

You're the little man, in our little home
No more gloomy days, since you're here to roam

You're the young soldier, of this old castle
For me you're the boss, so no more hassle

Can't wait you grow up, so we go to cruise
Know how much you love, driving without shoes

If you should read this, thirty years from now
Remember I'll be there no matter how
