The Breadline at St. John's I used to stand in the breadline At St. John's Lutheran Where they sang choral works of mine Before I was lesser-than It might have been embarrassing But my mind was not right I saw the organist staring But then he slipped out of sight Saturday mornings I went down The stairs and out to stand There in my loved and lost hometown With people who understand Like when I stood with my Love sign In the Plaza all those Days with homeless homies of mine Those were the people I chose Knowing they understood me and Would show me how it goes I had been of the bourgeoisie But going mad I found me In the breadline at St. John's on Saturdays until I was gone Steven Curtis Lance

How very touching and in a personal manner. One of my brothers used to volunteer his time in a "breadline" and soup kitchen. We are all in need of each other in some weird way so I've got to just let go! I really love this poem.

Love ya!

Jane
