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 man has to say.
For it isn't your father, or mother, or wife,
whose judgement 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 right up to the end,
and you've passed you most dangerous difficult test,
If the man in the glass is your friend.
You may fool the whole world down the path way of years
and get pats on the back as you pass,
But your final reward will be heartaches and tears,
If you've cheated the man in the glass.
