of spirit for...

withered this old heart of mine
on the eve when gifts are give
mine lost so long ago
now's the time i relive
midnight off of work
long the night i toiled
to a sleeping house i did come
one gift left in all around
brothers one the few
this the first year since his pass
an i so alone
did unwrap  
the last christmas to be found
an age and more has gone away
as i struggle to regain my loss
with tree and present all aglow
for this family all of mine
yet still in my depths i am empty
caught in that christmas of long ago
an i bide and wait my time
fan what embers that there be
so tonight in all christmas eve
in joy with family we will see
the christmas spirit come at last
of that i pray for, for you
and i hope, for me
