It was many years ago
And very far away
The young couple was tired
As they rode their donkey that day
She was with child
Or so she believed
But more would come out of it
They anyone could perceive
Labor took hold
On the 11th hour
There was no way to continue
She crawled into a field of flowers
He took the blanket from the donkey
And wrapped her up warm
She labored on
Until the early morn
The head showed
And he saw a curl
"He's almost here," the husband told his wife
But the baby was a little girl.
Well no-one said it would be a boy
It was just assumed, he thought
He wrapped her up warm and tight
But then another pain his wife caught.
She moaned in agony
The pain so great
He feared for her life
But all they could do was wait
He tried to comfort her
And keep the baby calm
He didn't know if there
Would be any harm
It was twenty minutes later
She felt the need to push again
And when she gave in to that need
She felt relief times ten
That relief did not last long
When they looked down and saw
Another baby this one a boy
He was lying near dead on the floor.
As he scooped up the baby
The girl in his arms just like the other
The first baby reached out
And hugged her brother
Suddenly he started
Breathing on his own
His color became golden tan
He was saved by the one whom he shared his first home
Years later they were about to kill her
Now it was his turn to save
Once upon a time she saved him
Now thanks to him she wasn't in the grave
