Later I saw it in O magazine and burst out sobbing in recognizing myself. Since then I have bought his book of poems searching for more that powerful. I didn't feel that any of them were but the one was enough. I have tried since then to become less and less of a stranger to myself. It still affects me every time I read it.<br /><br />I went back and read your previous post on this poem. For some reason It means so much to know that this poem spoke to another and I could picture your joy reading it to your students and your understanding that it was not yet for them. I do wish there were some way of having young people learn the truth of this lovely poem when they're young. It might save them a lot of heartache along the way.<br /><br />I have loved discovering your blog and have followed you and will gladly add you to my blogroll so that I won't miss new posts.<br /><br />DewenaDewenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07330797553600987145noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5238455262711858186.post-55283034367583323882013-10-01T08:48:35.361-05:002013-10-01T08:48:35.361-05:00Yes, be our own self, today...
