EGO

by Cletus Hardiman - Sagittarius

When you feel so real important
and your ego's at it's peak,
and you feel the world might owe you
a pile of riches at your feet, 
Just stick your finger in a bowl of water,
and pull it back out again....
and look how quickly the hole is filled,
the time, the place, you were, my friend,
That's how much the world will miss you
when you from life depart,
So, let's don't get so insolent
and let's not feel so smart!

Reason for writing:

    I feel that many times all of us, including myself, have felt just a bit, and at times a whole lot, conceited, and felt superior to some other people.   I think that this is something that we should strive not to do.....being humble is best.....if you are really important, other people will know it, without "strutting your stuff."
