Soap Galore
There it was - all rounded up in a plastic bag
Enough soap to last from now until Xmas zags
Through - bringing Santa Claus upon his sleigh
Bearing wonder and beauty served upon a tray
The magic is in the legend which is really fact-based
A jolly old man smiling with eyes a-twinkling in face
It is not WHAT he does which sets hearts all aglow
But just the fact he exists and sets an example to tow
The beauty is in the giving heart which lends itself to all
And thereby we all follow in his footsteps - not so small
The meaning we all find in the very simple act of giving
Something we can master through loving all others living
