The Glass

Posted on 20. May, 2010 by Todd Herman in Inspiration

Below is one of my favorite poems. (slightly modified, it’s actually a bit longer.)

I also like having a version for male and females. Because hey, why not.? :)

Enjoy!

The Glass ~ For Men

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.

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 heartache and tears,
If you’ve cheated the man in the glass.

~ Dale Wimbrow, 1934

The Glass ~ For Women

When you get what you want in your struggle for self
And the world makes you Queen for a day
Just go to the mirror and look at yourself
And see what that woman has to say.

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 heartache and tears,
If you’ve cheated the woman in the glass.

~ Dale Wimbrow, 1934
