February 11: Mixed Emotions

There has been a firestorm about a comment made by Olympic skier, Hunter Hess, and others what have said things like:

"It brings up mixed emotions to represent the U.S. right now I think. It's a little hard. There's obviously a lot going on that I'm not the biggest fan of and I think a lot of people aren't. I think for me, it's more I'm representing my friends and family back home, the people that represented before me, all the things that I believe are good about the U.S."

Here I am,

Significantly older,

Supposedly wiser,

Yet, I could not

Say it any better.

No race of my life this week

Yet, I too have 

Mixed emotions, these days

It's a little hard,

I'm not the biggest far

Of lots going on.

Yet, I tune in to watch

Proudly those who 

Represent all that is good 

About my country.
