Sometime when you're feeling important; <br />Sometime when your ego's in bloom <br />Sometime when you take it for granted <br />You're the best qualified in the room, <br /> <br />Sometime when you feel that your going <br />Would leave an unfillable hole, <br />Just follow these simple instructions <br />And see how they humble your soul; <br /> <br />Take a bucket and fill it with water, <br />Put your hand in it up to the wrist, <br />Pull it out and the hole that's remaining <br />Is a measure of how you will be missed. <br /> <br />You can splash all you wish when you enter, <br />You may stir up the water galore, <br />But stop and you'll find that in no time <br />It looks quite the same as before. <br /> <br />The moral of this quaint example <br />Is do just the best that you can, <br />Be proud of yourself but remember, <br />There's no indispensable man.<br /><br />Anonymous British<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/there-is-no-indispensable-man/
