Say Yes

Love may come at any age or stage.  When it does let wisdom and prudence guide you.  But say yes.  I talked to a woman yesterday who is married and she said she and her husband play "what if".  What if we broke up, what if we got divorced, what if I died, what if you died.  She tells her husband if she ever found herself alone again she wouldn't make the same mistake twice.  Meaning marriage.  I don't feel that way.  My marriage was not a mistake.  And I hope to someday say yes to marriage again.


So I say yes now to love when it comes knocking.  Although it's not without hurts and pains it's also full of joy and elation and fulfillment and desire.  I could avoid the hurt if I kept the door tightly closed.  Locked up my heart and gave the key to no one.  That would be the safe choice, albeit miserable.  So I wait and watch in anticipation of the knock at the door. 


I say yes.
