Age of the Ripple
Ripples on the pond
Are like the years in peoples lives
Stretching out to distance
Undulating living life
Circles so small are the ripples of youth
As they broaden on the pond
They age with wisdom and truth
As we learn to live in this world
To abide and obey
To be fortunate in the morning
Grace another day
When the ripple runs out
As it hits the shore
Our time on earth, is here no more
Our souls surrender
And drift on the breeze
To be reborn
Or stay asleep
To be granted life
And grace this earth
To be a ripple on the pond
Heavenly worth
