Yes or No

Yes, or no is definitely the answer, picking off petals as we meander

in fields of yellow and white flowers, a child-like passing away of hours

Does he love me or does he not; we know the answer that we want

sometimes not is the outcome; no mind, we try again and then some

Silly child-like game it is for sure; not unlike many others and more

involving innocence and purity of heart; the answer--not cared before we start

Silly and nonsensical game 'tis true; frolicking under skies of blue

No cares, woes, or sorrow from results; no worries as a child, so unlike adults

who pine away at hoping for reality of yes; not like children who play and guess

Nothing wrong with playing games happily;  just remember 'tis certainly not reality.
