    Listened for the first time at age 14. Here I am 10 years later with a daughter of my own! Such a beautiful poem.

    This has been my favorite for a while, but I just lost my mom and listening to it again, it took on so much meaning.

    The first time I listened years ago I loved the beauty of the message. But now it's so much more powerful because I've internalised all the truths she shares.

    I remember purchasing this book (one of my favorite poems) when you came to my high school (wow.. almost ten years ago?), and I loved this poem for the mom I could one day be. Now I read it to my daughter, turning one this week.. and I love it even more. Thank you, Sarah.

    I remember in college, my professor in a major education course used to let us pick a TED talk and present it in class, I chose this. One of my all-time favourite.

      @@anjel1884 its another person's opinion friend. If it doesn't fit your idea of it... it doesn't really mean a whole lot to either Carolyn or to Sarah. That is what creative work is all about. Some like your work, some hate it. But none who are creative artists attempt to either vilify other's for their likes and dislikes or attempt to shove their opinion down someone else's throat.
