Today I was discussing with my VA that I think my final report for VSO would be best expressed by the poem below - in particular in reference to verse 3. Although I was talking about impact or sustainable chsnges rather than being missed. I may not leave a hole but I do have a very wet hand......
"There Is No Indispensable Man"
by Saxon N. White Kessinger
Sometime when you're feeling important;
Sometime when your ego's in bloom
Sometime when you take it for granted
You're the best qualified in the room,
Sometime when you feel that 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 hand in it up to the wrist,
Pull it out and the hole that's remaining
Is a measure of how you will be missed.
You can splash all you wish when you enter,
You may stir up the water galore,
But stop and you'll find that in no time
It looks quite the same as before.
The moral of this quaint example
Is do just the best that you can,
Be proud of yourself but remember,
There's no indispensable man.
You can probably tell I have water supply on the mind currently!
