![]() ![]() ![]() I liked it. :) Reminded me of another poem I read this week - Don't know who wrote it, but thought you might possibly like it. Sometime, when you're feeling important; Sometime, when your ego's in bloom; Sometime, when you take it for granted You're the best qualified in the room; Sometime, when you feel that your going Would leave an unfillable hole; Just follow this simple instruction And see how it humbles your soul. Take a bucket and fill it with water. Put your hand in it up to the wrist. Pull it out and the hole that's remaining Is a measure of how you'll be missed. You may splash all you please when you enter; You can stir up the water galore But stop, and you'll find in a minute, That it looks quite the same as before. The moral in this quaint example Is do in God's strength what you can; Be faithful in all things, but remember, There is no indispensable man. |
