THE PERSON 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 a mirror and look at yourself

And see what that person has to say.

For it isn't your father or mother or spouse

Whose judgement upon you must pass,

The person whose verdict counts most in your life

Is the one staring back from the glass.

Some people might think you're a straight-shooting chum

And call you a wonderful guy,

But the one in the glass says you're only a bum

If you can't look him straight in the eye.

He's the person 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 one in the glass is your friend.

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 the one in the glass.
