Broken alleluias vacant of praise
reside in the hearts of millions
lost, alone, betrayed, destitute
unloved, unemployed
underemployed, some sick in
body, mind, spirit.
Empty eyes of children
whose basic needs
are rarely met haunt
the alleluias of Advent celebration.
The Savior born without
place to lay his head
stands with them.
Christ would embrace them.
Christ would embrace them through
your embrace, filling stomachs, minds,
hearts, souls with the meat of holy celebration.
Broken alleluias turning to glory of a King
whose subjects actually obey His command
to Love.
