In honor of one of the worlds greatest horsemen, no, one of the worlds greatest people to ever live...Ray Hunt, passed away 5 years ago today. He gave me something I cant even begin to describe, something deep down inside...following is the poem he recited at every clinic. And, yes, I can look the guy in the glass right in the eye every day... The Guy in the Glass by Dale Wimbrow, (c) 1934 When you get what you want in your struggle for pelf, 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 isnt your Father, or Mother, or Wife, Who judgment upon you must pass. The feller whose verdict counts most in your life Is the guy staring back from the glass. Hes the feller to please, never mind all the rest, For hes with you clear up to the end, And youve passed your most dangerous, difficult test If the guy in the glass is your friend. You may be like Jack Horner and chisel a plum, And think youre a wonderful guy, But the man in the glass says youre only a bum If you cant 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 youve cheated the guy in the glass.
