Once upon a time in a tiny town, there lived a jolly lad named Martin, Known for his mercy and his magical cloak that shone like satin.
Martin loved to share, with a smile so rare. He helped the poor, even the shrew that lived in a lair.
One chilly night, as Martin walked through the square, He spied a shivering man with messy hair. He took off his cloak and with a wave, shared his warmth and love, showing that kindness is brave.
Word spread fast of Martin's act of mercy, Inspiring others to be just as generous-y. The town changed, becoming full of cheer, As everybody shared, showing that kindness is near.
From that day on, Martin's example lived on, Teaching people that kindness is never gone. The magical cloak may have disappeared, But the spirit of mercy in everyone persevered.
So let's remember St. Martin, the lad so merry, And strive to be kind, like him, and to be merry. For in this world, full of joy and glee, We can all be like Martin, showing kindness is the key.
