Through these Eyes

by Dale Fanzo (My Dad)

What have we learned these past forty-two days?

Hunkered down and now its May.

Looking back, we shake our head

Stay at home our President said.

No, this cannot be true and sometimes we cry

Cannot believe what we see through these eyes.

Our daily business was put on hold

From youngsters and to the old

It was like groundhog day reenacted

Every day was the same not proactive.

Daily walks trying to make time fly

Cannot believe what we see through these eyes.

Memories we all must share as days go by

Staying strong we say but it's ok to cry

Lives were lost it is upsetting and not fair

Breaking up our family this virus did not care

Our lives have changed with no compromise

Cannot believe what we see through these eyes.

Our stay at home is opened to all

But be careful now and though the Fall

Anxiety is a word that tops our list

Wearing our mask while washing hands we cannot be remiss.
