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 spouse, whose judgment you must pass.
The person whose verdict counts most in your life, is the man staring back from the glass.
Some people might think you’re a “straight shooting 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 is with you clear to the end.
And you’ve passed your most dangerous test, if the guy 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 have cheated The Man In The Glass.
