So much makes a difference
We do have an impact
Why do we duck doing
Why don’t we realize
The difference we make
Is not so much the size
What we say has such substance
What we do can have such clout
If only a ripple
At least it is no drought
Let’s stop using
The term political correct
And realize that caring
About someone has the right effect
And lets begin sharing
All we have with such glee
We may in fact really
Set someone free

Paul--A wonderful poem, and yes the ripple effect can work, sort of like pass it on, we can make a difference one step at a time.  Great to see you hear, my friend.

We can only hope that the ripples touch upon whom they are intended for.

But sometimes the stone doesn't skip quite as far, and that to me is a sinking feeling.

Loved your poem and the message within it.

(smiles) Yay, you go boy! (giggles) We all can make a difference and with Bush's clumsy decisions and all the anxieties surrounding us we can work to make a resolution, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Paul, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
