By Charles Robert Lindholm
I dropped a pebble in a pond
and watched the ripples run
racing toward a distant shore
because of what I’d done
I knew that soon they’d wash ashore
with a playful, warm embrace
and the gentle kiss I sent
from me, here in my place
And I send my poems into the world
like a pebble in a pond
with words as ripples reaching out
to touch the Great Beyond
And though I know
we’re worlds apart
I hope my words
will touch your heart
With a playful,
warm embrace
that puts a smile
upon your face
And Joy in your Soul

Greatly penned, dear Charles.
Indeed, everything has a cause and effect and the effect is like a ripple-effect (in both directions: good and bad depending on our thoughts, words, and deeds).
Have a relaxing time, dear friend 🙂

Welcome, my dear friend Chuck 🙂
Yes, my week will surely be nice as a friend of mine from Austria came here and we are going on kayak-tour on a beautiful Finnish lake lasting 2 days.
Wishing you also a great time and thanks a lot 🙂
