THE MAN IN THE GLASS

by Blue Knight....Scorpio - Not entered

When you get what you want in your struggle
for yourself
and the world makes you king for the day,
just go to a mirror and look at yourself 
and see what that man has to say.

For it is'nt your father or mother or friends 
whose judgment upon you must pass.
The fellow whose verdict counts most in your life
is the one starring back from the glass.

Some people might think your a straight-shootin chum
and call you a wonderful guy.
But the man in the glass says your 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's with you clear to the end
and you've passed your most dangerous test 
if the man in the glass is your friend.

You may fool the whole 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 man in the glass. 

Reason for writing:

    Collected poem from the Unknown Author.  Just a note to say
that no matter how you love someone you should never forget about who you are and what you stand for before that person was in your life!!!!
