I asked God if it was okay to sing at the top of my lungs

and she said yes

I asked her if I could climb mountains

and paint silk and love furry animals and and and

and she said, of course you can

I asked if it was okay to have big dreams,

dreams that feel bigger than me,

and  she laughed sweetly and said,

darling, you would not be you without big dreams

and I sighed.

I asked her if it was ok if I squirm in my seat when bored

(sometimes I write bad poetry or doodle too)

and she said yes, my dear, yes.

Thanks God, I said

and is it okay that I misspell words and forget

to balance my checkbook?

Yes, snookums- where did she get that–

what I’m saying is  

YES YES YES
