Ripples On A Pond

Ripples On A Pond

 The starter’s gun declares the race begun

The eager sperm meets egg with haste

New life begins to run

Each division not knowing

When the race is won

The prize of life given by one

The Heart’s cessation

Marks the end and 

Calls the runner home

No laurels, only lookers-on

With memories aplenty

On the Pond of Life we are

A skimmer, a skipper

Hop, skip and jumper

A race to reach the shore

We once were just ripples on a pond

And now the pond is still…
