brando Posted April 23, 2007 Share Posted April 23, 2007 Not particularly my flavor of poetry....... The Face In The Glass! When you get what you want in your struggle for self And the world makes you king for a day, Just go to a mirror and look at yourself And see what THAT face has to say. For it isn't your father or mother or spouse Whose judgment upon you must pass; The person whose verdict counts most in your life Is the one staring back from the glass. Some people might think you are a straight-shootin' chum And call you a wonderful guy or gal, But the face in the glass says you're only a bum If you can't look it straight in the eye. That's the one you must please, never mind all the rest, For that's the one with you clear up to the end. And you know you have passed your most dangerous test If the face in the glass is your friend. You may fool the whole world down the pathway of life And get pats on your back as you pass, But your final reward will be heartache and tears If you've cheated the face in the glass. ~ Dale Wimbrow ~ Link to comment
