Love Poem: Heaven-Like Giving (Santa At the Mall)

Heaven-Like Giving (Santa At the Mall)

Heaven-like Giving

Today is a day of joy.
Santa shops for girls and boys,
Finding the most perfect toy.

Many elves are overworked.
Toiling yearlong while time lurked.
Hearing dreams with all ears perked.

Sewing clothes and making clocks,
Magic flowers, building blocks.
All the while, the time tick tocks.

Computer towers, name brand.  
Some instruments for the band…
Karaoke, try your hand.

Many shoes and mini-toys,
Books about ‘Helen of Troy”
Working elves creating joy.

Day in, day out there's no frown.
Cars and toys are pushed around.
They make sure all flaws are found.

Music that is heaven bound.
Socks have fun sliding around.
Magic sights would all astound.

His lists are long.  No, not small.
Many gifts he'll have to haul.
How will his elves make them all?

It's too late to hire more.
Fill this list?  He'll need a score!
Solution.  Shop at the store!!!

 “Merry Christmas!” Rang his sound.
Buy some gifts; help elves rebound.
Heaven-like giving, love crowned.

A Merry Christmas to Ya’ll  (Southern Smiles)
God's good will upon you fall
Recall heaven's way.  Love all.
