Ripples

Something that has been floating around in my head for sometime now

Ripples

Sending ripples into the world,

What kind will they be today?

Try an act of kindness,

as you go on your way.

 

Do the ripples matter?

Does it really help

to take this chance

and step outside yourself?

 

One small thing you do today

becomes a greater thing,

when down the road an aching soul

finds a voice to sing.

 

A simple kindness we extend,

infinitely multiplies.

Our ripples go forever

and the power in you lies.

 

For when your ripple reaches

some unsuspecting soul,

a new ring starts to warm the heart,

Love radiates and grows.

 

Just one small act of kindness,

can change the world we see.

And now you are the origin

of infinite new dreams.

 

So my prayer for us today

is that we make a pact.

For just today we’ll make a stand

to start with one kind act.

 

Send out your one small ripple,

and watch it as it grows.

And what will be when ripples collide,

only heaven knows.

beautiful. This poem in itself sends a ripple out that echoes.. someone, or many, will stumble across this and feel a little more hopeful, a little joy, and desire will seep in to want to effect ppl in the way you speak of.

Send out your one small ripple,
and watch it as it grows.
And what will be when ripples collide,
only heaven knows.

That's a lovely idea. A nice positive read first thing in the morning. Those ripples can become tsunami's once they pick up momentum. Delightful poem.

A poem chock full of wisdom! I watched a movie once called "Pay It Forward", and this poem has that concept behind it.

Good job!

[Brjden (Bridge-Den) Cre..]

Very well said! I love the content and the visual set up that you gave! Good write!

I liked, no loved this poem. It struck an emotion we can all relate to and proved it's own point in the readers mind. I like the way you took the 'ripple effect' and made it work. One action can lead to much more; pay it forward. In less words: Well done, Nice write. :D
