Just a Drop of Water

Let's 'make a difference in the world before we leave it.'

Topic: Make a difference in the world before we leave it

 

The footprints in the sand, the secrets to the wind

When we leave this land, let not our hope be dimmed.

The golden touch that leaves its mark

On hearts and lives and souls

Will never turn stark once it lies cold.

 

The happiness found in heaven is in a life worth living.

The legacy- our last wills- let not be dark shadows:

No laughter nor love, but clouded- full of darkness and sorrow

Let our inheritance instead shine bright:

Sweet like heaven, a dear respite

Where children and people smile and sing

Of our life of once had been.

 

The lives we lived will have been full

Of loving and helping and praising

Feeling the gentlest pull

Of the hand of Someone Greater

To help the brother found in each other

And save the grieving soul of our sister.

It is always good to remember

That the whole pond is stirred by just one drop of water.
