Dear valued visitor,
Beginning from today, after each blog post
I’ll be giving you a thought for the day. Today’s thought for the day is a
poem:
THE GUY IN THE MIRROR
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 the guy has to say.
For it isn’t your mother, your father or
wife
Whose judgement
on you must pass.
The fellow whose verdict counts most in
your life
Is the guy
staring back from the glass.
He’s the fellow to please, never mind all
the rest.
For he’s with you clean to the end;
And you’ve
passed your most dangerous
and difficult test
If the guy in
the glass is your friend.
You may be like Jack Homer and chisel a
plum
And think you
are a wonderful guy,
But the guy in the glass says you are a bum
If you can’t
look him straight in the eye.
You may fool the
whole world—
down the pathway of years
And get pats on
the back as you pass;
But the final reward will be heartaches and
tears
IF YOU’VE CHEATED THE GUY IN THE GLASS.
