One Kind Word

[Guest guest]

This is one of my favorites....hope you enjoy and take to heart!

ONE KIND WORD

Drop a pebble in the water,

just a splash, and it's gone,

But there's half-a-hundred ripples

circling on and on,

Spreading from the center,

flowing on out 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's little waves a-flowing,

and there's ripples circling yet,

And those little waves a-flowing

to a great big wave have grown,

You've disturbed a mighty river

just by dropping in a stone.

Drop an unkind or careless word,

in a minute it's gone,

But there's half-a-hundred ripples

circling on and on,

They keep spreading,

spreading from the center as they go,

And there's no way to stop them,

once you've started them to flow.

Drop an unkind or careless word,

in a minute you forget,

But there's little waves a-flowing,

and there's ripples circling yet,

And perhaps in some sad heart

a mighty wave of tears you've stirred,

And disturbed a life that was happy

when you dropped that unkind word.

Drop a word of cheer and kindness,

just a flash and it's gone,

But there's half-a-hundred ripples

circling on and on,

And you've rolled a wave of comfort

whose sweet music can be heard,

Over miles and miles of water

just by dropping one kind word.
