No

peto

Heard a story one day

And it blew me away 

Would a family's faith stand the test

Single mother was broke

So when her daughter spoke 

It would feel like a knife in  her chest 

Christmas loomed coming fast 

So of course mother asked 

My dear child what is your perfect gift

Can I please have a bike 

There's this red one I like 

It goes fast and has gears I can shift 

Mother said we must pray

And they did every day 

Mother had no more money to spend 

Will you answer me please 

She cried out on her knees 

Or is this it have I reached the end

Christmas day had brought tears 

Disappointment and fears

God ignored us so where can we go 

It's ok said the kid

Cause I know what god did 

He has heard us and then answered 

No
