Ripples

Listen to poem:

life is not something
that happens to you
every decision you make
is a brick in the wall
of your lifestyle

the way you stand
your outlook on life
builds the tower
that bears your strength

your dreams and mantra
becomes your effigy
your monument to the world

every action undertaken
affects your surroundings

a ripple effect on your universe

"your dreams and mantra becomes your effigy your monument to the world" - Perfect. This would have been enough; the other was gravy and frosting.

Love the images of the brick wall and the monuments, referencing building oneself strong... Very nice. Thanks, Gershon

I agree every single thing we do goes out in a ripple and touches everyone it touches. Like the first poem of yours we read.
