Ripples Ripples of the ocean Can show lots of motion Ripples of a lake You can see them coming without a second take The life of a man has many ripples From when his first child is born Even through the 2nd, 3rd and 4th They all look to him Making ripples just as good as him Whether it learn how to work Whether it learn how to fish His time with them is priceless So when he died that day in a wildfire The ripples shook his family to the core Unlike anything seen in a giant tsunami Unlike the rain pelting the water From sadness to depression No winning in the loss of a daddy The frustration and anxiety overwhelming The sadness and chills when daddy hears my their voices from heaven They will move on in many directions They will have to erect some of their own ripples So their children can learn love and loss In the end our heart is the ocean Mysteries are deep WIth nothing to cover up how we feel James H Morrow Jr www.truelovelive.com
