To Bread a Christmas Poem For the Lonely

I thought Christmas was about family and friends
but I was wrong
I'd waited all year for them
but long

No one came with spirit
No one came with praise
No one ate beside me
and no one changed my ways

All I had to do
was welcome Christmas day
And all I really knew
was other's worshiped way

So disappointment hit me
and I as soon did say
Hallelujah Jesus
and all of God's own way

That how I did at Christmas
was gather what I'd said
And welcomed Christmas morning
with all I was to bread
