saxon white kessinger/indispensable man

[khartoumteddy]

Sometime when your feeling important
Sometime when your egos in bloom
Sometime when you take it for granted
Your 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 the soul

Take a bucket and fill it with water
Put you hands in it up to the wrist
Pull them out and the hole thats remaining
Is a measure of how youll be missed

You may splash all you want when you enter
You may stirr up the water galore
But stop and youll find that in no time
It looks quite the same as before

The moral of this quaint example
Is just do the best that you can
Be proud of yourself but remember
There is no indispensable man.

I love that one Teddy! Who wrote it?

[Sandy MacSeil]

Good stuff, KT, yes, humility is vital,
And, Shygirl, the answer's in the title.

Cheers Sandy, for some reason I thought it was part of the title of the poem It's been a long day!
