MOM, ARE YOU LISTENING? Mom, I.O.U. for. So many things..a lot of services..like..nightwatchman for instance, for lying awake nights listening for coughs and cries; creaking floor boards and me coming in too late. You had the eye of an eagle, the roar of a lion; but, you always had a heart as big as a house... I.O.U. for services as a short-order cook, chef, baker; For making sirloin steaks out of hamburger meat, turkey out of tuna fish, and a family out of leftovers. I.O.U. for cleaning services, for the daily scrubbing of face and ears, ..all work done by hand.. And for the frequent dusting of our clothes to make sure we led a spotless life..And for washing and ironing that no laundry could ever do.. And for drying the tears of childhood, and for ironing out the problems of growing up. I.O.U. for services of a bodyguard.. For protecting me from the terrors of thunderstorms and nightmares, and too many green apples. And Lord knows I.O.U. for medical attention. For nursing me through measles, mumps, bruises, bumps splinters, and..Spring fever. And lets not forget medical advice either; OH NO!.. Important things like..Dont scratch it or it wont get well or If you cross your eyes, they will stick like that. And probably more important of all was: Be sure you have clean underclothes on in case you are in an accident. And I.O.U. for Veterinarian Services.. For feeding every lost dog I dragged home at the end of a rope. And for healing the pains of puppy love. And I.O.U. for entertainment.. entertainment that kept the household going during some pretty tough times. For those wonderful productions of Christmas, Fourth of July, and birthdays. And for making make-believe come true on a very limited budget. I.O.U. for Constructions work..For building kites, confidence, hopes and dreams; and somehow you made them touch the sky.. And for cementing a family together so it could stand the worst kinds of shocks and blows. And for laying down a strong foundation to build a life on. I.O.U. for carrying charges.. For carrying me on your books for the necessities of life that a growing students just gotta have..Things like..a new pair of shoes,a new pair of jeans and some money to spend... And one thing Mom Ill never forget.. When there were only two pieces of apple pie left and three hungry people, I noticed that you were the one who suddenly decided that you did not like apple pie in the first place... These are just a few thing that payment is long overdue.. The person I owe to worked very cheap, she managed by simply doing without a whole lot of things she needed herself... My I.O.U.s add up to much more than I could ever hope to repay... But you know, the nicest thing about it all is that I know that she will mark the entire bill Paid in Full for just one kiss and four little words... MOM, I LOVE YOU
