Priceless

That innocent face 
looking up at you,
that little smile
with everything they do.
The contagious laughter
that warms your heart,
the love unconditional 
right from the start. 
The first laugh
the first cry,
to the first wave hello
and the first wave goodbye.
The first steps
to the first run, 
the feeling you feel
when you hear them say mum.
the first sign of personality
The first solid food,
their fits of laughter,
to their first little mood.
The first cuddle
the first tooth,
a bond so strong
it is so true.
a mother and childs love
full of such meaning,
a gift from above,
a priceless feeling.
