stanza

A Ripple Starts

A single act, a gentle word,
The sweetest song that's ever heard.
Like pebbles dropped in waters clear,
It spreads love to all who're near.

stanza

It Turns to Light

It doesn't ask for gold or fame,
It simply calls the heart by name.
A helping hand, a smile so bright,
Can turn the darkest day to light.

stanza

And Keeps Growing

So plant the seeds of care today,
And watch them grow along the way;
For kindness is a flowing tide,
With nowhere left for gloom to hide.

What's this poem really about?
meaning

It's about how one small kind act — a word, a smile, a helping hand — doesn't stay small. Like a pebble dropped in a pond, it ripples outward and touches people the giver will never even meet.

Try it this week: do one small kind thing and see how far you can trace its ripple.
