The stone is cast into the water
Like a new birth,
The ripples flow from the impact,
Your life has begun.
Each ripple starts quickly
Extending your knowledge and experience.
The small ripples get larger
As your life continues,
The larger the ripples become
That middle age satisfaction is with you.
The ripples slow down
As you proceed into old age,
The ripples reach calmness
As you life comes to its conclusion,
Knowing that it will continue,
As you have cast stones
Into the water,
On the journey through your life.
