THE MAN IN THE GLASS
When you get what you want in your struggle for self,
And the world makes you king for a day,
Just go to a mirror and look at yourself.
And see what THAT man has to say.
For it isn't your father or mother or wife
Whose judgement upon you must pass,
The fellow whose verdict counts most in your life
Is the one staring back from the glass
Some people might think you’re a straight-shootin’ chum,
And call you a wonderful guy,
But the man in the glass says you’re only a bum,
If you cant look him straight in the eye.
He’s the fellow to please, never mind all the rest
For he’s with you clear up to the end.
And you’ve passed your most dangerous, difficult test
If the guy in the glass is your friend.
You may fool the whole world down the pathway of years
And get pats on the back as you pass.
But your final reward will be heartaches and tears
If you’ve cheated the man in the glass.
