Give Is Only A Soap Poem by Joseph Cimanuka

GIVE is only a soap, forevermore,
For external beauty, nothing more;
You use it, for sure, to wash your skin,
To cleanse and beautify your outer core.

Yet there is another soap you need more,
One that cleans and unspots your inner core;
It reaches beyond the skin and flesh,
And touches the heart at its very core,
Cleansing and beautifying you forevermore.

If GIVE is skin-beauty, nothing more,
Money is heart-beauty at the core;
For when wisely used to help another,
It can open a heart and make it pure—
A different kind of beauty, forevermore.
