Read Ripples

Posted on December 5, 2012 by SMHG

If I were to write a book to encourage all I knew

Perhaps I would call it Ripples to show what they could do

And how they tend to impact others in their life

Through acts of love and kindness undoing their strife

Every deed we do makes ripples in the hearts of others

Unlike hatred and selfishness which only hurts and smothers

Ripples are the impact like stones make in the water

When a thing is done despite the intent of the plotter

Every act of kindness rises like a tidal wave

While evil is overpowered by a ripple named forgave

So read a bit about the acts which like a quilter’s stipples

Are intended to encourage as you live within your Ripples
