DISCLAIMER: I do not own Christmas shoes by Newsong or Naruto…
It was almost Christmas time, there I stood in another line
Tryin' 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 hands he held a pair of shoes
A fiery red head was standing in line, his mood the opposite of all the happy and joyful people around, he didn't appear to be in a Christmas mood. Gaara turned his attention away from the gifts he was buying to a little boy who was holding a pair of light red shoes. The child had blond hair and the lavender eyes of the Hyuuga clan.
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
The young child was dressed worn out pants and a ragged shirt. He looked as though he hadn't token a bath in weeks. When the boy opened his mouth at his time to pay Gaara couldn't believe what the kid said.
Sir, I want to 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 a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
The surprise on Gaara's face as clear. 'That's Hinata and Naruto's kid.' He thought with recognition, 'Which means that Hinata's dieing…'
He 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 going to do,
Somehow I've got to buy her these Christmas shoes
The young boy counted out all his change and searched his pockets for more money when the cashier told him it wasn't enough. He turned to Gaara and asked what he was gonna do because he had to buy those shoes.
So I laid the money down, I just had to help him out
I'll never forget the look on his face when he said
Mama's gonna look so great
Gaara laid the needed money down and paid for the shoes. The boy's face brighten as he declared that his mama was gonna look so great. Gaara couldn't help the smile that washed over his harden features.
Sir, I want to 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 a while
And I know these shoes would make her smile
And I want her to look beautiful if Mama meets Jesus tonight
What the little boy had said to the cashier had filled Gaara's heart with warmth and his eyes softened. Te cashier placed the shoes in a wrapped box and handed them to the boy.
I knew I'd caught a glimpse of heaven's love
As he thanked me and ran out
I knew that God had sent that little boy
To remind me just what Christmas is all about
"Thank you sir!" The child exclaimed as he scurried out of the shop, into the cold weather outside. Gaara realized that what he had done was what Christmas was all about. Paying for his purchases Gaara headed home to his wife, Sakura.

As Gaara snuggled up in front of the fire with Sakura he told he about the little boy and the words that had been repeating through his mind all day. Sakura was saddened about hearing of her friends' soon-to-be death having diagnosed her herself.
Hinata had tried to survive through the ordeal of the lethal disease Sakura had diagnosed her with but in the end she was taken by the old reaper at the stroke of midnight wearing the light red Christmas shoes…
