Kind Words
Drop a pebble in the water
Just a splash, and it is gone,
But there are half a hundred ripples
Circling on and on and on.
Spreading, spreading from the center,
Flowing out and to the sea,
And there is no way Of telling
Where the end is going to be.
Drop a pebble in the water,
In a minute you forget,
But there are little waves ALLOWING
And there are ripples circing yet
And those little rippples flowing
To great big wave have gone,
And you've disturbed a mighty river,
Just by dropping in a stone.
Drop an unkind word, or careless,
In minute it is gone,
But there are half hundred ripples,
Circling on and on and on;
Ihey keep spreading, spreading, spreading
From the center as they CO.
And there is no way to stop them,
Once you've started them to flow
Drop an unkind word, or careless,
In a minute you forget,
But there are little waves ALLOWING,
And there are rpples circling yet,
And perhaps in some sad heart
n mighty wave of tears you've stirred
And disturbed a life that's happy
When you dropped that unknd word.
Drop word OF cheer and kindness,
Just splash and it is gone
But there are half a hundred ripples
Circling on and on and on
Bearing hope and joy and comfort.
On each spreading, dashing wave.
Till you would not believe the volume
OF the one kind word you gave
Drop a word of cheer and kindness,
In a minute you forget
But there's gladness still a-swelling
And there's joy a-circlng yet:
And you've rolled word of comfort.
Whose sweet music can be heard,
over miles and miles of water,
Just by dropping a kind word
Ihank you, Aunt Julia. Loving wishes to
all till we meet again.
