Girl in The Glass - SP Wednesday

The Girl in the Glass

When you get what you want in your struggle for self,

And the world makes you queen for a day,

Just go to the mirror and look at yourself,

And see what that girl has to say.

For it isn't your father or mother or friends,

Whose judgment upon you must pass,

The girl whose verdict counts most in your life,

Is the one staring back from the glass.

You may be like Jack Horner and chisel a plum,

And think you're a wonderful gal,

But the girl in the glass says you're only a bum,

If you can't look her straight in the eye.

She's the one to please---never mind all the rest,

For she's with you clear to the end,

And you've passed your most dangerous difficult test,

If the girl in the glass is your friend.

You may 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've cheated the girl in the glass.
