Quiet Reflections

Have you ever thought about how streams become rivers
and rivers run into seas and oceans?
Rivers of bad behaviour can become oceans of indiscipline
Which will cause us to despair if not checked in time
We need to put dams or controls on those rivers.

Have you ever thought how mounds of earth can
become hills as time goes by?
Debts to be paid or work to be done can become
hills of matters pending
Which will cause us to wonder if we will ever be able to handle them
We need to keep these matters down to mounds my friend

Have you every thought about how the sun’s rays brighten the day?
A smile can be a ray of sunshine to brighten someone’s way
Which will give him the motivation he needs along the way
We need to keep smiling and to extend a helping hand

Have you ever thought about how trees can grow
from seeds spread through wind dispersal?
An idea started in one place may through dispersal
reach all parts of the world
Which will cause the idea to grow and grow
We, in this world community, need to shake
hands across the globe.
