HUMILITY
Sometime when you're feeling important.
Sometime when your ego is in bloom.
Sometime when you take it for granted
You're the best qualified one in the room.
Sometime when you feel your going
Would leave an unfillable hole
Just follow these simple instructions
And see how they humble your soul.
Take a bucket and fill it with water.
Put your hands in up to your wrists,
Pull them out - and the hole that remains
Is the measure that you will be missed.
You may stir all you please when you enter!
You may splash up the water galore!
But stop - and you'll find in a minute
That it looks just the same as before.
The moral of this is quite simple
Do just the best that you can
Be proud of yourself but, remember,
"There is no Indispensable Man"


Or Woman come to that ......... I'm sure we all know people who could do with a little dose of humility every so often
