I admire and appreciate the openness in this. There can be such a huge gap between self-perception vs. how others perceive us. It's one of the reasons I think it's good to let people know how we see them; what is obvious/undeniable to us might not be so obvious to them. With that said...
I still recall reading A Sliver of a Chance and getting to the line in My Child about those "little fingers..." I instantly saw and felt that tiny little hand with its tight, trusting grip. It's a moment I'll never forget, and it's one of the most beautiful and impactful poems I've ever read.
