For it isn't your father or mother or wife
You may be like Jack Horner and chisel a plum
He's the fellow to please - never mind all the rest,
You may fool the whole world down the pathway of years

The Man in The Mirror
--Annonymous
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.
Whose judgement upon you must pass.
The fellow whose verdict counts most in your life
Is the one staring back from the glass.
And think you're a wonderful guy.
But the man in the glass says you're only a bum
If you can't look him straight in the eye.
For he's with you clear to the end.
And you've passed your most dangerous, difficult test
If the man in the glass is your friend.
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.
