THE GUY IN THE GLASS
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 that guy has to say. FOR IT isn't your father or mother or wife, Whose judgment upon you must pass; The fellow whose verdict counts most in your life, Is the guy staring back from the glass. HE'S THE man you must please, never mind all the rest, For he's with you clear up to the end. And you've passed your most difficult, dangerous test If the man in the glass is your friend. YOU MAY be like little Jack Horner and "chisel" a plum, And think you're a wonder- ful guy; But the man in the glass says your only a bum, If you can't look him straight in the eye. YOU CAN fool the whole world down the pathway of years, And get pats on the back as you pass: But your final reward will be heartaches and tears, If you cheated the Guy in the Glass. Dale Wimbrow |

Not out of caution And not from fear But to give the time and space These next steps deserve. Life-changing steps Monumental and pivotal steps I hesitate ... I breathe ... I wait For it will come ~ with certainty The answer will come. — with Ivanka Gimunova |
