listeners

“O that my people would listen to me,
    that Israel would walk in my ways!” Psalm 81:13

in the memories of grandparents,

we learn of your faithfulness;

in the made-up songs

of kids in the bathtub, we

discover your dreams;

in the questions of teenagers,

we are sung your hopes, if

we but pay attention
