'The Guy in the Glass' by Dale Wimbrow is a classic poem, and has definitely become one of my favorite inspirational pieces. It is a poem that tells the listener to be honest and true to himself- that this is more important than winning accolades and praises from others around him. The poet says that in the final analysis, the face staring back at each one of us from the mirror is the one "whose verdict counts most in your life". If we are able to look straight into the eyes of our reflected image, we can be sure that we have done right. As the last two lines of the poem go, "...your final reward will be heartbreak and strife, if you have cheated the man in the glass."
This poem is published in audio format as "The Guy in the Glass" by LearnOutLoud and Zaadz,Inc. The narrator is Brian Johnson, who does a good job of narrating the poem without any unnecessary stresses or pauses. I recommend this poem to everyone.
