You couldn't say no...

You couldn’t say no, and it kept coming back
You couldn’t say no, and the smile faded with no comeback

You couldn’t say no, not out of bad will
Or a craving that resists the sadness in its fill

But in honor of a memory
That deemed the agony

A sacred child to be born today
As if it was sworn yesterday

Suddenly, you came to be
Someone who isn’t a thing or a savior to see

You couldn’t say no
You could say no

And NO came to the rescue of NO
Before you could utter such wonder in awe.

Until the next ❤️ beat ~.~.~
