Mary Was An Only Child

Mary was an only child Nobody held her
Nobody smiled She was born
in a trailer wretched and poor
and she shone like a gem in a five and dime store
Mary had no friends at all
just famous faces pinned to the wall
All of them watched her None of them saw
that she shone like a gem in a five
And dime store
And if you watch the stars at night
and you find them shining equally bright
you might have seen Jesus and not have known
what you saw Who would notice a gem
in a five and dime store
