God says yes to me, by Kaylin Haught - Poetry for Poetry Month

God says yes to me

I asked God if it was okay to be melodramatic
and she said yes
I asked her if it was okay to be short
and she said it sure is
I asked her if I could wear nail polish
or not wear nail polish
and she said honey
she calls me that sometimes
she said you can do just exactly
what you want to
Thanks God I said
And is it even okay if I don't paragraph
my letters
Sweetcakes God said
who knows where she picked that up
what I'm telling you is
Yes Yes Yes

"God Says Yes To Me" by Kaylin Haught

For all that has been thanks,....from Hammarskjold

I've always loved this quote, "For all that has been thanks, for all that will be yes" from Dag Hammarskjold, former General Secretary of the United Nations.
