My New Outside Blog

I read a poem when I was a very young child, some 50 years ago. The content of this poem are crystal clear to me after all these years. My recollection goes something like this:

The Man In The Glass.

When you get what you want with your struggles in life, and the world makes you feel like "King " for the day, just go to look in the mirror and look at yourself, and ask what You See. It is not your mother or father, or wife (in my case) Who's judgement you must pass: The persons verdict who counts most in this life is the one staring back from the glass. Some people may think of you as "a shoot from the hip" kind of guy, some may think you are a wonderful guy...But the man in the glass says to you: you're only a bum if you can't look him straight in the eye. That's the person to please, never mind all the rest, for he's with you clear to the end, and you have passed the most dangerous and difficult test: If The Man In The Glass Is Your Friend. You might fool the whole world throughout your life, possibly some pats on the back on your way through, your final reward will be Heartaches and Tears...If You Have Cheated The Man In The Glass. 

For all of you who may remember this poem, as I remember it, you will know exactly what this means. In my life, I know that I must do the next right thing, each and every moment and time. No matter what Life throws in your path: Stand Tall and Always Remember Who's The Only One Who Will Hold You Accountable For Your Life; The Man In The Glass"

I Wish You All...Happy Holidays !!!
