" there's my Grandfather in the yard gazing up at the constellations 'That's Telstar, going over us still, ' he whispers softly" I enjoy magic moments captured like honeybees in a jar. QtR

A most beautiful dedication for your Grandfather, dear poetess Mary Angela! How you have created this ardent poem so vividly starting in the garden where Grandfather sits to gazing up at the constellations. This starting in the garden with Grandfather is so impressive and nostalgia and above all very cozy. You succeeded in the poem to make it so close to our thoughts, as if Grandfather still IS there in the garden.So intimate.
