{just a thought}

Drop a pebble in the water,
Just a splash and it is gone
But there's half a hundred ripples
Circling on and on and on.

Spreading from the center,
Flowing on out to the sea,
And there is no way telling
Where the end is going to be.

Drop a word of cheer and kindness,
Just a flash and it is gone,
But there's half a hundred ripples
Circling on and on and on.

Bearing hope and joy and comfort
On each splashing dashing wave,
Till you wouldn't believe the volume
Of the one kind word you gave.
