It was almost Christmas time,there I stood in
another line.Trying to buy that last gift or
two,not really in the christmas
mood.Standing right in front of me,was a
little boy waiting anxiously.Pacing round
like little boys do,and in his hand he held a
pair of shoes.And his clothes were worn and
old,he was dirty from head to toe.But
when it came his time to pay,I couldnt
believe what I heard him say.Sir, I wanna
buy these shoes,for my mama please.Its
christmas eve,and these shoes are just her
size.Could you hurry sir,daddy says there
not much time.You see she's been sick for
quite a while,and I know these shoes will
make her smile.And I want her to look
beautiful,if mama meets Jesus
tonight.They counted pennys for what
seemed like years,the casheer said son theres
not enough here.He searched his pockets
frantically,then he turned and he looked at
me.He said mama met christmas good in our
hearts though,Most years she just did with
out.tell me sir what am I gonna do,Some
how 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.Its christmas
eve,and these shoes are just her
size.Could you hurry sir,daddy says there
not much time.You see she's been sick for
quite a while,and I know these shoes will
make her smile.And I want her to look
beautiful,if mama meets Jesus
tonight.I knew I caught a glimce of
heavens love,as he thanked me and ran
out.I knew that God had sent that little
boy,to remind me what Christmas is all
about.Sir, I wanna buy these
shoes,for my mama please.Its christmas
eve,and these shoes are just her
size.Could you hurry sir,daddy says there
not much time.You see she's been sick for
quite a while,and I know these shoes will
