I'm tired of waiting

I’m tired of waiting for my daffodils in the backyard to actually bloom

And I could add my hyacinths as well

I’m tired of waiting for the weather to get warmer

I’m tired of 4 months of a freezing winter and it’s still in the 20s and 30s in the morning

I’m tired of waiting for March to exhale into real spring.

                                                               almost!

I’m tired of the lack of civility in the world

I’m tired of all the lies, of the political insanity that makes no sense at all

I’m tired of the enablers who only care about their positions and jobs and not we, the people

I’m tired from the No Kings march yesterday that left me more deflated than hopeful as things have gotten worse since the last march

I’m tired of WAR!

           * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

But I do believe that my daffodils will dazzle me soon

And I do believe that there is a spring coming soon, one where I will plant my beloved pink Vincas all over the garden

And I do believe that most people in our world are good

And I do believe that goodness will prevail, and we will find our way out of this darkness

I just got tired.
