Be a nurse her family persuaded. The
Future looks secure in a medical career, girl
There’s no money in art or writing or in
Acting. She followed their dream; in the
Unsettled struggle that came, her glass
Was empty more than full in the end. The truth is
Finding what fills you up and fires up your
Soul. Jesus did that and she calls him her friend.

The original line of inspiration for this poem is “The girl in the glass is your friend.” By Pat Conigliaro
