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 the mirror and look at yourself, And see what that man has to say. For it isnt your father or mother or wife, Who judgment upon you must pass; The fellow whose verdict counts most in your life Is the one starring back from the glass. Hes the fellow to please, never mind all the rest. For hes with you clear up to the end, And youve passed the most dangerous, difficult test If the man in the glass is your friend. You may be like Jack Horner and chisel a plum, And think youre a wonderful guy, But the man in the glass says youre only a bum If you cant look him straight in the eye. 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 the heartaches and tears If youve cheated the man in the glass. Dale Wimbrow (c) 1934 1895-1954
