Ripples small and humble, flowing modestly
Reach further than the splash, big, for all to see
More personal the touch, the more effective sway
From those with selfless motive, who live it day to day.
The power’s in “the being” that reaches far and wide.
Each can make a difference, wherever they reside.
Ripples small and humble, flowing modestly
Reach deeper than the splash, big, for all to see.
Less personal the touch, the less effective sway
From those with self as motive, when ego leads the way.
The power’s in “the being” that reaches wide and far.
Each can make a difference, no matter where they are.
