The Indispensable Man


Heard about this poem at BSF last night.  To me this poem speaks less about the indispensable man but more about the sovereignty of God.  God will do what God will do and we are just along for the ride.  :-)

THE INDISPENSABLE MAN
Author:  Saxon White Kessinger

When you're feeling so important, and your ego is in bloom
 When you simply take for granted you're the wisest in the room.
 When you think your very absence will leave a great big hole.
 Just follow these instructions.  They will humble any soul.
 
 Take a bucket filled with water.
 Put your hand in to the wrist.
 Pull it out; the hole remaining is how much you will be missed.
 
 Splash wildly when you enter.
 Stir a lot and splash galore.
 Then stop, and in a minute it will look just like before!
 
 The moral of this story is to do the best you can.
 Be proud, but please remember, There is NO Indispensable Man.
