Christmas Shoes -VampyreBlood-

My mom listens to country music and we were in the car listenng to the radio and this song came on and it made me realize a bit more what Christmas is all about

CHRISTMAS SHOES-NEWSONG
It was almost Christmas time
And there I stood in another line
Trying to buy that last gift or two
Not really in the Christmas mood
And standing right in front of me
Was a little boy, waiting anxiously
Pacing around like little boys do
And in his hands he held a pair of shoes

And his clothes were worn and old
He was dirty from head to toe
And when it came his time to pay
I couldn't believe what I heard him say

"Sir I wanna buy these shoes
For my mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir?
Daddy says, there's not much time
You see, she's been sick for quite awhile
And I know these shoes will make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful
If Mama meets Jesus tonight"

They counted pennies for what seemed like years
Then the cashier said, "Son, there's not enough here"
He searched his pockets frantically
Then he turned and he looked at me
He said, "Mama made Christmas good at our house
Though most years she just did without
Tell me sir, what am I gonna do?
Somehow I've gotta buy her these Christmas shoes"

So I laid the money down
I just had to help him out
And I'll never forget the look on his face when he said
"Mama's gonna look so great!"

"Sir, I wanna buy these shoes
For my mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry sir?
Daddy says there's not much time
You see, she's been sick for quite awhile
And I know these shoes will make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful
If Mama meets Jesus tonight"

I knew I'd caught a glimpse of Heaven's love
As he thanked me and ran out
I knew that God had sent me that little boy
To remind me what Christmas is all about

"Sir, I wanna buy these shoes
For my mama, please
It's Christmas Eve and these shoes are just her size
Could you hurry, sir?
Daddy says, there's not much time
You see, she's been sick for quite awhile
And I know these shoes will make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful
If Mama meets Jesus tonight"

I want her to look beautiful
If Mama meets Jesus tonight
