Enjoy!
Influence
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.

It is National Poetry Month and several of the blogs I follow are sharing poems from various sources. Paul offered this one this morning about the impacts of our smiles and kindness. Just ripple today and influence others.
