The Ripple Affect

If you saw someone without a smile 

would you give them yours?

If you could brighten someone’s day

would you share a few kind words?

Could you look beyond your pain

to recognize another’s?

A simple act of kindness could change 

the lives of others.

What a difference you could make

how peaceful you would sleep, 

knowing you gave your all

to someone who was in need.

When you go the extra mile

so others get there too,

they soon will follow your direction 

bringing out the best in you.

We have the power to change the world 

if we choose to not neglect,

the concept is quite simple 

it’s called the ripple affect.
