It’s a quiet Sunday morning, and I thought I share a, Thought for the day with you.
It’s called, THE MAN IN THE GLASS.
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 isn’t your father or mother or wife,
who’s judgment upon you must pass;
The fellows who’s verdict counts most in you life,
is the one staring back from the glass.
Some people may think you’re a straight-shootin’ chum,
and call you 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.
He’s the fellow to please, never mind all the rest,
for he’s with you clear up to the end.
And you’ve passed your most dangerous, difficult test
if the man in the glass is your friend.
You may fool the whole world down the pathway of life
and get pats on the back as you pass.
But your final reward will be heartaches and tears,
If you’ve cheated, the man in the glass.
