I wish I had said Yes!
beloved
When you asked me out to walk
among the leaves
the turning leaves
You were offering me
the sound of dreams,
And I turned you down
politely.
Not today, I smiled
Perhaps,
Maybe, tomorrow?
But I wish I had said Yes!
beloved
I wish we had shared this light.
Next time don't ask
Just take me!
Order me to dress!
I am going to need your help
beloved
To begin the Year of Yes.

wow. i love this poem. thanks for sharing!!!
I can so relate to this. Reminds me of my early days of parenting.
This makes me think of my mother who was so busy cleaning that she refused my dad's invitations to go different places during the day. It's a beautiful poem. Thanks for sharing it.
There are days we all need to say yes...
