Location:Philipines.A woman named Glendale was given a gift.It was a boombox.To you it might seem like nothing and not a big a deal,but it is.
A loving mother of three,caring and wanting best for her children
Wanting them to take an education,be cleansefull with out sin
One of her daughters Glendale...Saw something behind a store window
Her mother saw her daughter,with a shine in her eye,a bright glow
She looked inside her pocket,only to find three dollars and 5 cents
It hurt her in a sence that she couldnt git Glendale that as a present
She worked hard and well,getting many jobs,every single day
Cause it was until that day,she got her way,the gift wasnt too far away
****
Inside the store she saw it,a boom box wrapped in a locks
She knows this isnt worth it,but she takes money out of the sock
Knonks on the counter,waiting for a woman wit beautifull hair
And she knew there the future for her daughter was good,she sweared
Gives the money to the lady,and goes outside with much joy
Suddenly,a man comes telling her to give up radio or git blown away
Not knowing what to do,she cared for life,she hands it to him
He leaves,and in tears she asks "God why?",the sky went dim

I was told this story when i was young,just a little kid
I didnt undertsand it until now,just like my brother did
Leared from this,i knew what mattered in the story,knew what it meant
That material things dont count,it the hard work you put in it
More important,i didnt want to hear this from anyother
Cause i heard it from the most caring person in my life...My mother
