THE GIRL IN THE GLASS

When you get what you want in the struggle for SELF, and the world makes you Queen for a day… Just go the mirror and look at yourself, and see what that girl has to say… For it isn’t your father, mother or brother, whose judgment before you must pass… The person whose verdict counts most in your life, is staring at you from the glass… She’s the person 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 pathways of years, and get pats on the back as you pass… But your only reward, will be heartache and tears, if you’ve cheated the girl in the glass.
