The Pebble. Poem by Sandra Kavanagh Josefsson

As I throw my pebble
into the water of the nearby stream,
I see the ripples as they extend
and become wider in reams.

We are like the pebble causing ripples in the water of life.
We have our possibilities, our choices and the consequences that can lead to happiness or strife.

As our ripples extend,
they touch other souls.
We are witnesses to both cause and that which enfolds.

The uniting is the substance of life.
No man is an island.
Nor neither his wife.

In the waters of the masses,
we are as one.
We are joined together
and shine in the sun.
