A Yes Mom Kind Of Summer

motherhood

Jun 22

Yes to—
staying up late,
sticky popsicles,
going to the lake
and getting sand
in all kinds of places.

Yes to—
the library,
the pool,
the arboretum,
the drive-thru.

Yes to—
dance parties,
spraying each other with the hose,
movies every Friday night.

Yes to—
temporary tattoos,
smoothies in mason jars,
art all over the dining room table.

Yes to—
bunk beds,
bubble machines,
Legos all over the garage.

Yes to every reasonable request.
Every can we please?
Every small ask leading to big joy.
