My sister just let me listen to this song called Christmas Shoes sang by Alabama.
Its about this boy living in a poor family. One day, he saw this pair of shoes that its perfect for his mum. He saved for many years, and one day his mum fell sick and his Dad told him she's not gonna have much time left. and this was the chorus:
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 theres not much time
You see, shes 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
Continues.
He counted pennies for what seemed like years
And the, cashier said Son, theres not enough here.
He searched his pockets franticly
Then he turned and he looked at me
He said Mama made Christmas good at our house
Most years she just did without
Tell me, sir, what am I gonna do
Somehow Ive gotta buy her these Christmas shoes
This is song is lovelyyyy. Its super touching and the cashier said "I knew that god had sent that little boy to remind me What Christmas is all about"
