THE MAN IN THE GLASS Anonymous Author hen you get what you want in your struggle for self And the world makes you king for a day, Just go to a mirror and look at yourself And see what THAT man has to say.For it isn't you father or mother or wife Whose judgment upon you must pass, The fellow whose verdict counts most in your life Is the one stsring back from the glass.Some people might think you're a straight shootin' chum And call you a wonderful guy. But the man in 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 to the end, And you've passed your most dangerous test If the guy in the glass is your friendYou may fool the whole world down the pathway of years And get pass on the back as you pass, But your final reward will be heartache and tears If you've cheated the man in the glass.
