# Throwing stones

In the stillness of a pond, stone takes flight,

ressing its surface with grace might.

With each, ripples form rhythmic dance,

A metaphor acts of kindness, a chance.

Like the stone that breaks the tranquil peace,

An act of kindness brings warmth and release.

It starts with one gesture, small or grand,

Creating ripples that spread across the land.

A smile to a stranger, a helping hand extended,

Through these simple acts, hearts are mended.

Kindness knows no boundaries or limitation,

It transcends barriers, unites every nation.

Just as the stone's impact reaches far and,

So too does kindness, a ripple multiplied.

From person to person, it carries on its course,

Touching lives, inspiring love and resource.

From a single act, a wave of hope is born,

Inspiring others to follow, to adorn

The world with compassion, one act at a time,

Creating ripples, a symphony sublime.

So let us be mindful of the stones we throw,

For each act of kindness will steadily grow.

In the vast pond of life, may our ripples spread,

Filling the world with love, healing hearts that bled.
