The greatest gift
It outweighs materialistic fortunes
It is far more beautiful than silver or gold
It shines as bright as any diamond my eyes have fell upon
It sparkles more freely than the ripples in the sea
My ears have never heard anything so sweet
The symphony is not one you can by
You could search but you could never find the melodies that fill my heart with elation
I am greeted by eagerness when this gift is out of my sight
This gift is worth the ultimate sacrifice
I have come in contact with many sleepless nights
But the moment my eyes connect
With what seems to be the greatest purpose of existence
It seems as though all thoughts of slumber are suddenly lifted
My heart over flows with delight
For I have been chosen worthy of a privilege
The privilege of motherhood
