The man in the glass

When you get what you want in your struggles and the world makes you king for a day, just go to a mirror and look at yourself. See what that man has to say.

For it isn’t your father or mother or wife or husband whose judgment upon you must pass. The fellow whose verdict counts most in your life is the one starring back from the glass.

Some people may think you are a straight shooting charm and call you a wonderful guy. But the man in the glass says you are only a son. If you can’t look at him straight in the eye, he’s the fellow to please never mind all the rest for he is with you up to the end.

And you have passed your most dangerous difficult test, if the man in the glass is your friend, you may tell the whole world down your pathway of years.

And get pats on the back as you pass; but your final reward will be heartache and tears if you have cheated the man in the glass.
