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,
Whose judgement upon you must pass;
The fellow whose verdict
counts most in your life
Is the one staring back from the glass.

You may fool the whole world
down the pathway of years.
And get pats on the back as you pass;
But your final reward
will be heartache and tears,
If you’ve cheated that man in the glass
