Priceless

By Naphtali Banda

A sparkle in the eyes of both man and God 
A diamond made of gold 
An illumination of the universe 
The reason I wrote this verse 
Forgive me but I am just trying to be precise 
Am not here to entice 

She was given a crown, so I guess its right to call her queen 
Or Princess for she is priceless 
An ornament of humanity 
A fragrance birthed in the inside of humanity 
And still connected to divinity 
Smoothly curved by the hand of the almighty 
Bought with the blood of a divine being 

She is more than the one 
She is Godly special one 
Incomparable to none 
But who is she? 
She is a lady, a woman, a daughter 
A sister, a mother, Gods daughter 
And above all, she is priceless 
Yes, priceless 

And it pains me how we have put a price tag to her 
Making her seem to lose her value 
I know the world is changing 
And everything with it 
Upgrading and been updated 
But she needs no upgrade 
She is the best, perfect, wonderful 
Masterpiece of Gods handwork 

She cannot be bought with petty gifts 
Her time cannot be wasted with your empty promises 
Her body is not for sale to the highest bidder 
Your money isnt equivalent to her value 
Stop taking her as a tool you use to satisfy your urges 
You cant afford her 
She is certainly not a punching bag to hit at will 
Thinking you are tough and yet not man enough 

And lets get this straight, 
When she smiles your way 
She is not trying to invite you in 
But emitting the freshness from her maker 
For her smile beautifies the world 
Dont get the wrong signal brother, 
Change your network 

And please you do not become any less of a man 
If you stick to one lady 
So let those eyes stop roaming north, east, west and south 
Brother, have direction 
Relationship is a one way street 
No dual carriage, so I hope you get it 

The world would be different without women 
They are precious, 
They are our mothers, our sisters, our aunties 
Come rain, come sunshine 
January to December 
Whether you like or not 
They are not price tags 
They are priceless
