There once was a young woman
Who lived in a shoe
And the shoe grew
And it grew
And it grew
Until one day
The young woman could no longer "keep shoe"
So the shoe stopped growing
On account of the woman
What a nice shoe.

Now the young woman had
Much more room than she needed
So she rented out rooms
To some young folks who'd pleaded.

Then one day
The shoe overhead them complaining
About the lack of room in the shoe
And the problems created
So again the shoe grew
And it grew
And it grew
What a nice shoe.

Then it came about that the roommates
Up and moved away
To another province and country
Totally abandoning their stay.

So the young woman opened a daycare
To fill up the shoe
And hired some workers
To help with the crew
But as fate would soon have it
The shoe daycare was shut down
And the children removed
By an edict from town.

So the shoe began to shrink
And it shrank
And it shrank
And it shrank.

Now the young woman became angry
And wanted to die
"Why is all this happening!" she cried
"I'd like to know why"
Then God asked her this question
Without hesitation
"Do you have any right to be angry about this shoe?"
"Please explain your fixation"
"I do have a right to be angry" she chided
"Angry enough to die!"
Then God gave her this much needed reply
"Enough with the rhymes, and enough with your reasons!"
"Now listen closely my dear, for your comments are treasons"
"You have been angry about this shoe, though you did not make it grow"
"It grew for a short time, and then shrank,"
"So all your efforts were at best, short lived"
"But this town has 100s of people in spiritual darkness"
"Who don't know their right hands from their left"
"Their lives are but a breath on Earth"
"And their souls are in eternal jeopardy"
"So shouldn't I have a right to be concerned for these I have created?"

Little ones, do not let the circumstances of this life distract you
from their intended purpose, which is to lead you and others to Christ,
