Yes, there are so many days
When the world celebrates.
Be it a festival or a relationship,
There’s a day to celebrate it.
Yes, I, too, want to create
A day that we all can celebrate.
A day on which we all agree
To say a “yes” to everything.
Yes, a “yes” day is needed
For all the people to see –
A “yes” brings opportunities.
It welcomes all possibilities.
Yes, I accept myself –
My strengths and weaknesses,
My past and my present,
And every fleeting moment.
Yes, I accept all I have,
And, also, all that I lack –
My blessings and my wishes
And everything that’s unfulfilled.
Yes, I accept all my days
Of happiness and sadness –
Days when I won and also lost
And the ones that bore a cost.
Yes, I accept the people I met –
Those that stayed; those that left.
With them, I laughed and shared;
Some left me broken and in tears.
Yes, today I celebrate
Everything that gave me shape –
They made me what I am today;
To them, a “thanks” is what I say.
Yes, a “yes” day would be great
If everyone celebrated it every day.
The world would be a happy place
As peace, in every home, would grace.
