SEERS AND HEARERS
Thank God for seers
who help us to see
what might be right
in front of us - or what
our parents saw and
we didn’t know it.
Their photos, their
pictures, their movies
help us all to see.
Thank God for hearers
who help us to hear
the sounds and the
songs that have been
all around us or the
music and the melodies
our parents and grand-
parents heard when
they were growing up.

See and hear two songs and the
sights Joe Heaney from Galway,
Ireland gives us. He speaks
stories and sings songs in Gaelic
the language of my parents.
Seosamh O hEanai - Joe Heaney
died in May of 1984 - and thank
God hundreds of his songs have
been
saved.
