THE MAN IN THE GLASS

"When you get what you want in this struggle for self and the world makes you king for a day,
Then you go to your mirror and look at yourself and see what the man has to say.
For it isnt you father, your mother, your wife, whos judgement of you-you must pass, the fellow whos verdict counts the most in your life,
Is the guy staring back in the glass.
he is the man you must please never mind all the rest,
for hes with you clear up to the end.
And you have passed your most difficult and dangerous test,
when the man in the glass is your friend,
you can be like another and chisel a plum,
and think your a wonderful guy,
but the man in the glass says you're only a bum,
If you cant look him straight in the eye.
you can fool the whole world, down the parthway of years,
and get pats on the back as you pass,
but your final rewards will be heartaces and tears,
If you've cheated the man in the glass. . ."
