“Debt I Could Never Repay”

You have watched over me from ever since I can remember.
I am never hungry and a roof is always over my head.
My body and my clothes are always clean – except when I go to the park to play.
I go to a private school and as expensive as it is, you find extra money to buy me toys, games and take me on nice trips.
You continue to teach my right from wrong.
When I make bad choices, you correct me.
When I do good deeds, you applaud me.
When I’m feeling down, you encourage me.
When I start bragging too much, you remind me to be humble.
You are fair and just.
They say a child shall lead them, but in order for that to happen, the child must be raised properly.
You are a great role model for me to copy.
You work hard all day and every night you help me with my homework and give me a hot, filling meal before sending me off to bed.
I will work hard to honor all that you have done for me in the past, the things that you do for me in the present and all that you will do for me in the future.
I work hard in math class on how to calculate figures to determine how much I will owe you one day.
You told me that you will never charge me for your unconditional love because the best things in life are free.
Your love is a priceless treasure and my future looks bright because of all of the sacrifices you make for me each and every day.
There is no substitute for your love and it is a debt I could never repay.
