Insignificant

young girl sits at waters edge splashing with her toes makes ripples in the water unaware of where they go the ripples form a small wave as they travel cross the river unknowingly she sends a gift and she becomes the giver for just across the river on a sandy earthen floor a fish lies dying, earthbound only inches from the shore a small wave washes over it as it takes it's dying breath and pulls it to the water only seconds before it's death the fish received a miracle not knowing of the source and swam for deeper water on a newly plotted course the girl knew nothing of the fish or her part in it's fate or how just a tiny ripple can become a force so great
