A Mother's Love
My little boy came into the
kitchen this evening while I
was fixing supper.
And he
handed me a piece of paper
he'd been writing on.
So,
after wiping my hands on
my apron, I read it,
and this
is what it said:
For mowing the grass, $5.
For making my own bed this
week, $1.
For going to the store $.50.
For playing with baby
brother while you went
shopping, $.25.
For taking out the trash, $1.
For getting a good report
card, $5.
And for raking the yard, $2.
Well, I looked at him
standing there expectantly,
and a thousand memories
flashed through my mind.
So, I picked up the paper,
and turning it over, this is
what I wrote:
For the nine months I
carried you, growing inside
me,
No Charge.
For the nights I sat up with
you, doctored you prayed
for you,
No charge.
For the time and the tears,
and the cost through the
years,
No Charge.
For the nights filled with
dread, and the worries
ahead,
No Charge.
For advice and the
knowledge, and the cost of
your college,
No Charge.
For the toys, food and
clothes, and for wiping your
nose,
No Charge.
Son, when you add it all up,
the full cost of my love is
No Charge.
Well, when he finished
reading,
he had great big
tears in his eyes.
And he
looked up at me and he
said,
"Mama, I sure do love
you."
Then he took the pen
and in great big letters he
wrote: Paid in Full.
