David Archuleta More Than Just A Pebble

 

Every one of us is put in this world to contribute and make a difference.

David Archuleta makes a difference in the lives of others in ways big and small, not for attention or gain but rather because he believes it is the right thing to do.  He has an uncanny ability to recognize the important things in life.  He realizes each day you have an opportunity to begin an important journey and that obstacles can become opportunities.

It’s more than kindness it's about the essence and the power of his compassion.  He has had a far greater impact on way more people than he realizes.  We have all blossomed under the encouragement of David Archuleta.

When we listen to David’s music we share his feelings on a spiritual and emotional level, we share in the elation of songs and joy and happiness that reminds us of a particular happy time.  He has inspired us daily to live our dreams and accomplish our goals.

The mainstream media sometimes forgets that it’s takes more than an ego to be a success and David Archuleta is a success in more ways than can be described. 

His effect on our lives is more than just a ripple, a splash or an echo of music dancing in our hearts; it’s about love, passion and our souls connecting as one.

The following poem by James W. Foley must have been written with David in mind.  I hope you enjoy it as much as I have.

Drop A Pebble In The Water

Drop a pebble in the water: just a splash, and it is gone; But there's half-a-hundred ripples Circling on and on and on, Spreading, spreading from the center, flowing on out to the sea. And there is no way of telling where the end is going to be. Drop a pebble in the water: in a minute you forget, But there's little waves a-flowing, and there's ripples circling yet, And those little waves a-flowing to a great big wave have grown; You've disturbed a mighty river just by dropping in a stone. Drop an unkind word, or careless: in a minute it is gone;  But there's half-a-hundred ripples    circling on and on and on.      They keep spreading, spreading, spreading        from the center as they go,          And there is no way to stop them,             once you've started them to flow.               Drop an unkind word, or careless: in a minute you forget; But there's little waves a-flowing, and there's ripples circling yet, And perhaps in some sad heart a mighty wave of tears you've stirred, And disturbed a life was happy ere you dropped that unkind word. Drop a word of cheer and kindness: just a flash and it is gone; But there's half-a-hundred ripples circling on and on and on, Bearing hope and joy and comfort on each splashing, dashing wave Till you wouldn't believe the volume of the one kind word you gave. Drop a word of cheer and kindness: in a minute you forget;  But there's gladness still a-swelling,    and there's joy circling yet,      And you've rolled a wave of comfort        whose sweet music can be heard          Over miles and miles of water             just by dropping one kind word.               ~By James W.
