Happy Holidays to All
I do not own Supernatural or this song, but was inspired and thought you would like to know...
Mary...Did You Know...?

Mary Winchester sat in the rocking chair of the nursery, Samuel was a mere six months old today, November second, 1983. Her four year old Dean was downstairs with John, cleaning up after supper for that night and it was Sammy's bed time.
The infant cooed in her arms, shock of brown hair twitching as he wriggled to get comfortable then began to doze off.
Mary rocked slowly, mind wandering slightly as Sam fell asleep in her arms, Dean's laughter drifting up from the lower floor before John sternly gets him to hush to not wake his younger brother.
The young mother gently laid the baby in his crib, Sam wasn't a fussy sleeper, his head hit the pillow and he was down for the count.
Turning on the baby monitor, Mary also turned on a tape player, smiling when she realized Dean had changed the soft lullaby music for Christmas music even before Thanksgiving.
The song made her pause, like it was fate for her to hear it that night...
"...Mary did you know that your baby boy will one day walk on water?
Mary did you know that your baby boy will save our sons and daughters?..."
Samuel Winchester...well he was active enough to walk on water...but Mary prayed he wouldn't fall to the life of his name sake...hunting...but he would save the world...
"...Did you know that your baby boy has come to make you new?
This child that you've delivered, will soon deliver you...
Mary did you know that your baby boy will give sight to a blind man?
Mary did you know that your baby boy will calm a storm with his hand?..."
She watched out the window, the darkening night coming alive with stars.
"...Did you know that your baby boy has walked where angels trod?
And when you kiss your little baby, you have kissed the face of God..."
Sam was one of her angels, sleeping serenely among his blankets as Dean crept inside to say goodnight to his brother.
"G'night Sammy."
Mary kneeled beside him, rubbing his back as he peeked through the bars at his sleeping brother.
"Angels are watching over you Dean, and will always protect you."
"...The blind will see, the deaf will hear and the dead will live again.
The lame will leap, the dumb will speak, the praises of the lamb..."
Mary laid down to sleep later that night, turning in early after putting Dean to bed, the song was still in her mind as she fell asleep, the lyrics reminding her of just how special her son Dean was to her, and her new son Sam...
"...Mary did you know that your baby boy is Lord of all creation?
Mary did you know that your baby boy will one day rule the nations?..."
The mother awoke softly to Sam crying, Dean was still asleep so it must not have been very long for the infant to have been unattended. She rose and stuck her head in the nursery, the shadow figure of a man leaned over the crib and Sam was quieting. Mary smiled as she went downstairs, knowing John was caring for Sam.
Or so she thought as she rounded the corner and saw John asleep in his recliner, her feet couldn't move any faster as she raced for the nursery..
"...Did you know that your baby boy is heaven's perfect Lamb?
This sleeping child you're holding is the great I am..."
What do you think?
