Leila Rosen
writes, "I'm a NYC English teacher, and love studying poetry with my
students. Whenever I come upon a poem that shows a desire to
understand and respect the depths of the human self, with all its
complexity, and does so MUSICALLY, I treasure it. The poem does
exactly this. In its comprehension of what goes on in a child, it is
one of the kindest poems I know. Read it and see for yourself!"
