Impressionable Souls


COVID-19 Fear! by Lou Principe, Acrylic, 12 X 12
COVID-19 Fear! Acrylic, 12 X 12



The fear is so real, we're fighting a global war

Spread of deadly virus from near and afar

Forced to stay home, keep a six-feet distance

Economy, shut down, leaving us in a trance

What's our next move? How do we cope?

When questions, left unanswered can't give us much hope

Anxiousness, fear, depression and anger

Mixed emotions rolling towards imminent danger

We fear because we love, we fear because we care

We fear for the future, Can we dream? Can we dare?

Feeling claustrophobic in this tight, closed off tunnel

Could hardly breathe, with little air, as if passing through a funnel

Little eyes, concerned and unsure

Look up to us, as if we know the cure

They don't understand, we don't always have the answers

Still they look at us with so much faith, as if nothing else matters

Verbal words or utter silence, does it really matter much?

For children, they sense us, they never fail to watch

The impact we make to such impressionable souls

Deep responsibilities, stay true to our roles

Remind each other of the impact we make

To little children, who look up to us, there's so much at stake

Guidance and stability, they obviously seek

Safety and security, for hearts, tender and meek

Shall we remind ourselves to put things in perspective

For little ones, they follow us, they go along with our objectives

Remember the impact we have, and we hold

Guiding our littles ones, together, we mold

Burn the fire of passion, not of anger, not of fear

Hold on to the faith, hold tight, my dear

For this too shall pass, no matter what they say

God is always with us, every step of the way.
