Ripple Effect

I never cared to be the best

Just showed up

Let the world do the rest

A pebble drops

The water bends

A ripple flows

It never ends

One small step

A little spark

A tiny flame ignites the dark

If I stayed home

Who’d take my place

Who’d rewrite time

Who’d change the race

I made a ripple

I made a wave

And someone’s life just got remade

I don’t need gold

I don’t need fame

I’m just a player in this game

I shifted seconds

Moved the clock

A silent shout

A ticking knock

A glance

A smile

A fleeting chance

The smallest thing can shift the dance

If I stayed home

Who’d take my place

Who’d rewrite time

Who’d change the race

I made a ripple

I made a wave

And someone’s life just got remade
