The “my” version is indeed true and powerful, and resonates deeply. It is my favorite iteration, and I think in many ways is quite universal.

Oh my goodness, no, not intentional! I must not have had enough coffee when I was writing this. I changed them!

I like the “my” version best—every reader can put themselves in the poem.
