The picture on my desk
I keep this picture on my desk to help remind me to look at the bigger picture and I have someone in Heaven looking out for me. I’m excited to see that smile again someday.
In loving memory
Michael William Buck
November 17, 1964 – December 27, 2003
Lived 39 years
Lindquist Layton Mortuary · Layton, UT
His favorite poem was "The Man in the Mirror". When you get all you want and you struggle for self, and the world makes you king for a day, then go to the mirror and look at yourself and see what that man has to say. For it isn't your mother, your father or wife whose judgment upon you must pass, but the man, whose verdict counts most in your life is the one staring back from the glass. He's the fellow to please, never mind all the rest. For he's with you right to the end, and you've passed your most difficult test if the man 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 highway of years, and take 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.
