Poetry Friday — YES!

I’ve posted this poem before but some just bear repeating. 
This is for my growing daughters.
This is for my healing husband.
This is for my sister and my girlfriends.
This is for my students who want to know the rules.
This is for the writers, the artists, the dancers.
This is for the deciders.
This is for me.
This is for you.

God Says Yes To Me

Kaylin Haught

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

(Read the rest here. Really. Do. Yes.)

    I think I may have posted this poem before at Blue Rose Girls. It’s one of my favorites.

    I hope your husband is doing well.
