Shoebox Man

Description

Shoebox Man

In a space under my bed, in a tattered old shoebox

Is a secret that I’ve had ever since I was a child

If you found it, you wouldn’t understand what it is

Just a bunch of slips of papers, folder up within

She’d say: Every time you love someone or have a broken heart

Write down what you love about him most

Then, put it in the shoebox underneath your bed

And, give it to god to hold

Then one day you will understand when you find your shoebox man

She said be patient my child, it might take a while

‘Cause when God makes someone special, it often takes some time

And, I knew what she was telling me, it must have been the truth

Because in the shoebox she had saved was the Grandpa that I knew

I know that Grandma in heaven above will cry those happy tears when she sees as I walk down the isle today

with the shoebox man that God has made for me.
