Ripple

 

Could the woman who paid for your groceries

Understand the ripple effect?

How your tears of joy

Would wash away so much that is wrong in the world?

Could she have known

How you needed a win to go to the next round?

She could not have realized that

Her gesture would shift your life.

Making you a kinder, happier soul.

And now you get to pay it forward.

The ripple sounds and bounces.
