The ripple effect

we all make ripples
unseen by us
in the pool of humanity,
and from those ripples
other lives are moved
by what we bring into
their paths through
the waters of life,
and each soul counts
in many ways towards
the betterment of others,
and in the end,
in the sands of time
there lie fossils
of what we've left behind,
and they are usually formed
in the shape of
many hearts joined
splash hard and
make waves so that
many will be moved
to the safe harbour
of fellowship.

What a wonderful concept and beautifully penned. It reminds me a little bit of the movie "Pay it Forward". It only takes one person to change another's life for better or worse.

This piece really draws me into it's intrigue. I really enjoyed the rich text and the heart you put into this writing.

What a beautiful piece of writing. I would argue the "splash hard" point, but I get your drift, and salute the kind intent behind "The ripple effect".
Bravo, WM
