Complete Poem on the Bookmark: The Gal in the GlassWhen you get what you want in your struggle for selfAnd the world makes you queen for a day,Just go to a mirror and look at yourselfAnd see what that gal has to say. For it isn’t your husband or family or friendWho judgement upon you must pass;The gal whose verdict counts most in your lifeIs the one staring back from the glass. Some people may think you a straight shooting chum,And call you a person of place.But the gal in the glass says you’re only a bumIf you can’t look her straight in the face. She’s the gal to please, never mind all the restFor she’s with you clear up to the end.And you’ve passed your most dangerous, difficult testIf the gal in the glass is your friend. You may fool the whole world down the pathway of yearsAnd get pats on the back as you pass,But your final reward will be heartaches and tearsIf you’ve cheated the gal in the glass. Ideal for personal use or as a meaningful gift, this bookmark is a steady companion in moments of self-reflection, inspiring honesty and courage on the path to recovery. Keep it as a daily reminder to live true to yourself, finding strength and integrity from within.
