RIPPLES OF LOVE

RIPPLES OF LOVE



THERE FLOWED BETWEEN THEM
SUCH A DEPTH OF LOVE
THAT OTHERS IN THEIR COMPANY
FELT ITS WARMTH
 WITHOUT KNOWING WHY
TREATED OTHERS KINDLY

LIKE A RAINDROP IN A POOL
IT SENT OUT RIPPLES
THAT BROKE THE MOON
INTO MANY SILVER PIECES
EACH PIECE CARRIED ITS LIGHT
INTO DARK PLACES

TO WHOM MUCH IS GIVEN
MUCH IS EXPECTED
THEY CARRIED THEIR BURDEN LIGHTLY
THIS LOVE
THAT THEY MUST SHARE

THEY SUFFERED NO LOSS
IN THEIR REACHING OUT
FOR LOVE THAT IS GIVEN
RETURNS INCREASED

 WHERE THEY WALKED
FLOWERS BLOOMED
 THE SUN SHONE
ON A KINDLY LAND
