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

Those photos are really cute indeed! She reminds of young Anne Hathaway. :)

I am looking for books by Kaylin Haught. I found this one poem and I am certain anyone who wrote such a great poem has written more stuff. Where can I find published works?

The photos you posted with
my poem are adorable - and
spunky! You could correct
the tiny error in my poem,
though - "And is it even o.k.
if I don't paragraph my letters" (the placement of the
word "even," is what I mean.
Thanks for your interest in
my poem! (Yeah, I occasionally see what's going on! This poem has received lots of attention -
who knew?)
