Hold our cold hearts and make us whole

Does it really matter  
The money set aside for the feast 
The sumptuous spread on the dinner table
The many hours of labour sown into pots of food perishable 

Not much of reunion it was 
Cold hearts and hurtful words exchanged
One came while the other left
No words enough to make us stay

Yeah it may be just a day we missed
But a lot more it means
Because so precious we are to one another
And how much we love each other so

Much has gone to waste
The efforts, the many hours sown
In exchange for tired feet and hands
And hearts so cold 

Lord, you be the center of this household
Because only Love can hold and make us whole
Be the warmth in our hearts
Even when we feel tired and cold
