Influence

Poet: Joseph Norris

Drop a pebble in the water, And its ripples reach out far;
And the sunbeams dancing on them may reflect them to a star.

Give a smile to someone passing, Thereby making his morning glad;
It may greet you in the evening, When your own heart may be sad.

Do a deed of simple kindness; Though its end you may not see,
It may reach, like widening ripples, Down a long eternity.

Something I believe with all of my heart.
