What white is not the whiter <br />for being next to blue, <br />Or red the richer twixt <br /> shades of sombre hue, <br />What man beside a giant <br />does not feel the smaller, <br />Or when standing near a midget <br />does not feel the taller. <br />How much better a man may feel <br />against one using no restraint, <br />How great are his shortcomings <br /> in comparison to a saint. <br />And ao we have our values <br />the weight of better against worse. <br />How insignificant are we all <br />compared with the universe.<br /><br />archie langford<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/values-2/
