‘Twas the night before Christmas eve and all through the store

No carts were available not even one more

The last item I wanted just was not present

So instead I looked around, long lines are not too pleasant

I decided to leave when I came upon a shopper

Whose arms were loaded full, nothing was going to stop her!

“Here, take my cart; I don’t need it!” I cried; 

“But I just need one more thing,” she replied

Item upon item, becoming more burdened down

Not accepting my offer to make it much easier to move around

So here’s the little lesson I hope you’ll receive,

Let Jesus be your burden-bearer, simply just believe!
