My grandpa and being grandpa; we ones teach us to sing

 ‘my grandpa and being papa’Trgates,8/31/25

seeing what’s timeless 
blue and brown eyes transcend mine,
then and now’s soaring.

‘wee ones teach us to sing’
’love’s tunes’ Trgates,4/24/2023;8/31/2025
Cardinals and Bluebirds
sing their songs,
those in Blessed Repose,
those still here
hear what few choose.
some join their psalms,
some close their ears,
while Cardinals and Bluebirds
know love isn’t separated by
here or there.
pausing between breaths,
Angels listen
in awe of the melodies
from Bluebirds and Cardinals
smiling with those
here and there,
with both we’re here,
only thing that causes
these singers to stop and listen —
children,
loud, rarely quiet,
tender hearts and souls
making harmony smile.
