An awful fear has clutched <br />My growing-up will. <br />When your ‘NOs’ <br />Echo inside hard <br />My heart throbs, <br />Throbs my heart. <br />I wish you stepped forward <br />And walked yourself a few yards, <br />You would have, for sure, <br />Met my over stretched arms <br />That wait for you and <br />Will wait forever.<br /><br />PARTHA SARATHI PAUL<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/your-yes-will-open-the-world/
