YOU can't pay back in dollars what your father does for you, <br />You can't repay in kindness all the tenderness he shows; <br />You little know the perils he has safely brought you through, <br />And the wealth of Rockefeller this account would never close. <br /> <br />Just remember, as you travel, now alone upon your way <br />That your only chance of squaring up the debt you owe your dad <br />Is to strive with all your courage to grow better every day <br />And become the man he dreamed of when you were a little lad.<br /><br />Edgar Albert Guest<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/not-a-money-debt/
