Don’t ask me to ruminate
and list the times I wish
I had said yes
The only times
it truly mattered
in the bright concourse of life
I did say yes
to my wife-to-be
now my wife-in-fact
Don’t ask me to tabulate regrets
I have none
After decades I learned
to feel love
accept love
share love
in gratitude
with the ease of saying
Yes
I really liked this poem, it was such a beautiful, hope inspiring declaration of love and the peace one finds in simply being loved. I loved how what could have been construed as a prompt invoking regret led to such a beautifully positive piece of poetry.
