Sometime, when you're feeling important,
sometime, when you're ego's in bloom,
sometime, when you take it for granted,
You're the best qualified in the room,
Sometime when you feel that you're 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 just the best that you can,
be proud of yourself, but remember,
there is no indispensible man. (read by Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor - author unknown)
