I look around at the world <br />and get frightened when I realise <br />I am but a tiny spec. <br />I am a mere mortal <br />in a world filled with millions <br />and millions more <br />each trying to stand above the rest <br />and have their name remembered <br />long after they have gone <br />for the great things they have done. <br />I look again at myself <br />and feel somewhat sad <br />for I doubt if I’ll be remembered <br />for anything good or bad. <br /> <br />31 January 2008<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-tiny-spec/
