RIPPLES !


Ever stood and dropped a pebble
Into a lake while it was calm?
Then watched as the ripples seemed
To just go on and on?

Expressions have the same effect
For instance; take a smile
Once begun, it passes on
For who knows how many miles?

Spreading cheer it sails along
On a merry little path...
And if it continues long enough
Why, then it becomes a laugh!

And those are most contagious
Cause they're so much fun to share!
One giggle or a chuckle means
Hilarity soon is everywhere!

And music is a favorite, too
A universal heart to heart
A language understood by all
No matter how far they are apart!

With just a little effort
Anyone can cause commotion;
A world-wide epidemic
All from one heart-felt emotion!

One little ray of sunshine
A ripple that begins with you...
May make a difference in a life
Believe it....for it's true!

So wear a smile and sing a song
Let the notes rise to the sky
It may not reach around the globe
But can it hurt to try?
