Ripples In a Pond

Ripples In A Pond A small stone Tossed by a child in a still pond The water splashes Ripples move outward touching the shore The rock falls to the bottom It joins a million others just like it The water smoothes to what it was Did the child change the pond? Did the stone make any difference? Is everything just as it was before? Even the smallest thing can make a change That pond will never be exactly the same Even if they cannot be seen there are changes The water is a little bit deeper There is a new piece of stone to join the others Even the fish have less area to swim Absolutely nothing is the same If a single stone can change an entire ecosystem What do you think a single idea could do Once it makes its own ripples
