L Milton Hankins Poet Quatrain

Ripple Effect

Reward follows in ways you never expect
When you have done the right thing, my friends,
For a good deed or a kind word will not go
Unrecognized, and the ripple from it never ends.

Sotto Poet August 15, 2021 at 4:21 PM Incredible writing yet again. There are many different takes on life's positive ripple effects and their potential to survive mortality. The part about staying dead with an eternal memory closes with your words Milton. L Milton Hankins August 15, 2021 at 5:31 PM Thank you so much, Lasaad. I'll be gone for most of the coming week. Catch up with you when I return.
