THE PEBBLE<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Drop a pebble in the water: just a splash, and it’s gone;<\/p>\n

But there’s half-a-hundred ripples circling on and on and on,<\/p>\n

Spreading, spreading from the center, flowing on out to the sea.<\/p>\n

And there is no way of telling where the end is going to be.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Drop a pebble in the water: in a minute you forget,<\/p>\n

But there’s little waves a-flowing, and there’s ripples circling yet,<\/p>\n

And those little waves a-flowing to a great big wave have grown;<\/p>\n

You’ve discovered a mighty river just by dropping in a stone.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Drop an unkind word, or carelessness: in a minute it is gone;<\/p>\n

But there’s a half-a-hundred ripples circling on and on and on.<\/p>\n

They keep spreading, spreading, spreading from the center as they go,<\/p>\n

And there’s no way to stop them, once you’ve started them to flow.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Drop and unkind word, or carelessness: in a minute you forget;<\/p>\n

But there’s little waves a-flowing, and there’s ripples circling yet,<\/p>\n

And perhaps in some sad heart a mighty wave of tears you’ve stirred,<\/p>\n

And disturbed a life was happy ere you dropped that unkind word.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Drop a word of cheer and kindness: just a flash and it is gone;<\/p>\n

But there’s a half-a-hundred ripples circling on and on and on,<\/p>\n

Bearing hope and joy and comfort on each splashing, dashing wave<\/p>\n

Till you wouldn’t believe the volume of the one kind word you gave.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Drop a word of cheer and kindness: in a minute you forget;<\/p>\n

But there’s gladness still a-swelling, and there’s joy circling yet,<\/p>\n

And you’ve rolled a wave of comfort whose sweet music can be heard<\/p>\n

Over miles and miles of water just by dropping one kind word.<\/p>\n
