Enough is enough
I can’t wait
for spring to come
for the bitterness
of this winter to be over
to see flowers in the fields
and red roses in bloom
in the garden
with fresh lavender
in the borders
and to hear the buzz
of bees doing
what they know best
collecting the fresh nectar
that one day soon
I will spread on a slice
of warm toast
and thank God that I’m
still alive to enjoy it
