"The Man in the Mirror"

When you see what you want in your sruggle
for self, and the world makes you king for a day.
Then go to the mirror and look at yourself,
and see what the guy has to say.

For it isn't your father, or mother, or wife,
Whose judgement upon you must pass,
The feller whose verdict counts most in your life,
Is the guy staring back in the glass.

He's the feller to please, nevermind all the rest,
For he's with you clear to the end,
and you've passed your most dangerous, difficult test,
If the guy in the glass is your friend.

You maybe like "Jack Horner" and "chisel" a plum,
and think your a wonderful guy,
But the man in the glass says your only a bum,
If you can't look him stright in the eye.

You can 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 cheated the guy in the glass.
