PRICELESS…

Hearing his voice alone made me forget the pain,

All the hours I spent shouting and wailing,

Though I wonder why some have more of than one,

But of a truth, the joy of having a new-born is priceless!

I was ready to jump up and wrap and cuddle my prince

Sincerely forgetting that the placenta will follow

And then some stitches…the doctor need to ‘fix me up’.

All I wanted was my priceless gem

The smile on his tiny face was only seen by me

His weight was so minute, but he occupied the whole of me

His eyes were semi opened (or semi-closed…lol!)

But I’m almost certain he could see his mum

We both connected right on the spot!

What price could you possibly place on being a parent?

There is no currency strong enough to defend it

What price could you place on being a mother?

Only you can truly tell when you are in the mix.

For me…I say and shout and scream ‘PRICELESS!’

Nothing else could be big enough to pay for the task
