God says "yes" to me

Here's a little poem I heard today which will make you're theological mind smile. A warning, if you think on this one too much, it's quite likely it will mess with your theology, so be careful.

Enjoy.

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 it
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 exacly
what you want to
Thanks God I said
And is it even okay if I don't paragraph my letters
Sweet cakes God said
who knows where she picked that up
what I'm telling you is
Yes Yes Yes

Are you smiling? I am.

Thanks Vicki for this one.

--Kaylin Haught, “God Says Yes to Me,”
From The Palm of Your Hand (1995)
