    My sister's little boy came in the kitchen one evening
    while she was fixing supper
    and he handed her a piece paper he 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 mowing the yard $5
    And for making up my own bed this week $1
    For going to the store $.50
    And playing with little brother while you went shopping $.25
    Taking out the trash $1
    And for getting a good report card $5
    And for raking the yard $2
    Total owed $14.75

    Well she looked at him standing there and expecting
    And a thousand memories flashed through her mind
    So she picked up pen and turned the paper over and this is what she wrote:

    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 son
    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
