When you get what you want in your
struggle for self, And the world
makes you king for
a
day,
Then go to the mirror and look at
yourself,
And see what that guy has to say.
For it isn't your father, or mother, or
wife,
Whose judgemenl upon you must pass.
The fellow whose verdict counts
most in your life,
Is the guy staring back from the glass.
He's the feller to please, never mind all
the rest, For he's with you clear up
to the end,
And you've passed your most
dangerous, difficult test,
If the guy in the glass is your friend.
You may be like Jack Homer and
"chisel"
a
plum, And think you're
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.
You can fool the whole world down the
pathway of years and get pats on
the back as you pass.
