“The one in the glass” When you get want in your struggle for yourself, 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, mother, husband or wife, Who’s judgement upon you must pass; The person who’s verdict counts most in your life, Is the one staring back in the glass. Some people may think you’re a straight shooting chum, And a wonderful gal or guy; But if the one in the glass says you are a bum! If you can’t look ‘em straight in the eye. It’s the one you must please; never mind all the rest, For he/she’s with you up until the end; And you’ve passed your most dangerous, difficult test, If the one in the glass is your friend; You may fool the world down the pathway of life, 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. - Author Unknown

When you get want in your struggle for yourself,
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, mother, husband or wife,
Who’s judgement upon you must pass;
The person who’s verdict counts most in your life,
Is the one staring back in the glass.
Some people may think you’re a straight shooting chum,
And a wonderful gal or guy;
But if the one in the glass says you are a bum!
If you can’t look ‘em straight in the eye.
It’s the one you must please; never mind all the rest,
For he/she’s with you up until the end;
And you’ve passed your most dangerous, difficult test,
If the one in the glass is your friend;
You may fool the world down the pathway of life,
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.
