Dear Editor:
This poem, authored by Peter Dale Wimbrow Sr. , has been modified from Its original content.When you get what you want in your struggle for selfAnd the world makes you queen for a dayJust go to the mirror and look at yourselfAnd see what that woman has to say.For it isn't your father, or mother, or husbandWhose judgment upon you must passThe lady whose verdict counts most in your lifeIs the one staring back from the glass.She's the lady to please - never mind all the restFor she's with you, clear to the endAnd you've passed your most difficult, dangerous testIf the woman in the glass is your friend.You may fool the whole world down the pathway of yearsAnd get pats on the back as you passBut your final reward will be heartache and tearsIf you've cheated the woman in the glass.As years went by she has passed the most divine and final test.In her struggle for life she struggled to please not herself.But her family, friends who she sincerely tried to please.The woman who stared at her in the glass wouldn't dare to ask a trivial thing from her family or friendsShe had managed day by to look at the woman in the glassAnd Her divine satisfaction was just knowing that she was just truly your friend to the end.Yes this incredible woman is our friend indeed. And We are truly Honored to have known and had the opportunity to share in this life of this truly magnificent woman Sharon Joseph who was always truly a friend indeed.She will always be in our hearts.Alan and Marie Katz& The Staff and Friends of Katz Accounting Inc.
