A cool cat on facebook shared this with me
when I told him I didn't much like myself. It's given me something to
think about. Maybe it will give you something to think about too.
The Man In The Glass
Peter Dale Wimbrow Sr.
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 isn’t your father, or mother, or wife
Whose judgment upon you must pass
The fellow whose verdict counts most in you life
Is the one staring back from the glass
He’s the fellow to please – never mind all the rest
For he’s with you, clear to the end
And you’ve passed you most difficult, dangerous test
If the man in the glass is your friend
You may fool the whole world down the pathways of years
And get pats on the back as you pass
But your final reward will be heartache and tears
If you’ve cheated the man in the glass
