RPK's Guy in the Glass
Cowboy is a PLL carrier so he is now retired:
RPK's Guy in the Glass
RPK's Guy in the Glass is by Urban Cowboy out of Stars fells on Alabama born 6/2009
When I was thinking of a name I was trying to think of real Cowboys I know. Ray Hunt came to mind. He is a master horse trainer and one of the men who the book the Horse Whisperer was based on. He always recited a poem during his training clinics. The poem is:
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 isn't your Father, or Mother, or Wife,
Who judgement upon you must pass.
The feller whose verdict counts most in your life
Is the guy staring back from the glass.
He's the feller to please, never mind all 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 be like Jack Horner and "chisel" a plum,
And think you're 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.
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 you've cheated the guy in the glass.
In grateful memory of the author, Dale Wimbrow 1895-1954 |
