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
