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 judgment upon you must pass

The fellow whose verdict counts most in your life Is the one staring back from

the glass. 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 difficult, dangerous test If the man in the glass is your friend.
