love never fails

Hey Liz -

Santhony's comment about looking in the mirror reminded of an article that my STBXH cut out of the paper a couple of years before the bomb......

THE MAN 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 the mirror and look at yourself,
And see what THAT man 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 you life
Is the one staring back from the glass.
Some people might think you're a straight-shooting
chum
And call you a wonderful guy,
But the man in the glass says you're only a bum
If you can't look him straight in the eye.
He's the fellow to please, never mind the rest,
For he's with you clear up to the end.
And you've passed your most dangerous, difficult
test
If the guy 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 heartaches
and tears
If you've cheated the man in the glass.

I've been tempted many times to send him the article but I don't think he'd get the point anymore but I do

Hugs,
Mary
