“Shhhh, listen to the birds sing”,
My grandfather said;
As a young girl I listened,
And the birds sang.
“Shhhh, listen to the birds sing”,
I said as a mother;
My children listened,
And the birds sang.
“Shhhh, listen to the birds sing”,
My children say;
Their children listen,
And the birds sing.
(Dedicated to my maternal grandfather, who said just this.)
