No Charge
As I came in mother kitchen one evening while she was fixing supper and I handed her a piece paper I had been writing on and after wiping her hands on an apron She took it in her hands and read it and this is what it said:
For listening to all your fussing $5 And for making me wash dishes this week $1 For going to the store $.50 And for you making me sit on the porch when I was younger $.25 Taking out the trash $1 And for always getting on the phone, cussing me to get off $5 And for playing your lottery, knowing you were short money $2 Total owed $14.75 Well momma looked at me standing there and expecting And a thousand memories flashed through her mind So she looked at me and this is what she said: For the 9 months I carried you holding you inside me $ NO CHARGE For the nights I sat up with doctored you and prayed for you $ NO CHARGE For the time and tears and the costs through the years There is NO CHARGE When you add it all up the full cost of my love is $ NO CHARGE For the nights filled with grey, And the worries ahead For the advice and the knowledge And the costs of your college $ NO CHARGE For the toys, school, and clothes And for wiping your nose There's NO CHARGE Marjorie When you add it all the full cost of my love is NO CHARGE Well you know when I think about that I think about the day that Jesus went out to Calvary and gave his life as a ransom for me When I think on the words "If Any Man be in Christ He's A New Creature" I like to think about the very minute that HE shedded his blood My debt was paid in full And I want you to know today when you add it all up The full cost of Real Love is NO CHARGE
