Sunrise, sunset

Is this the little girl I carried?

Is this the little boy at play?

~

I don't remember growing older

When did they?

~

When did she get to be a beauty?

When did he grow to be so tall?

~

Wasn't it yesterday

When they were small?

Sunrise, sunset

Sunrise, sunset

Swiftly flow the days

Seedlings turn overnight to sunflowers

Blossoming even as we gaze

~

Sunrise, sunset

Sunrise, sunset

Swiftly fly the years

One season following another

Laden with happiness and tears

~

What words of wisdom can I give them?

How can I help to ease their way?

~

Now they must learn from one another

Day by day

~

They look so natural together

Just like two newlyweds should be

Is there a canopy in store for me?

~

Sunrise, sunset

Sunrise, sunset

Swiftly fly the years

One season following another

Laden with happiness and tears

Not only do I love this song from Fiddler on the Roof, I love actual sunrises and sunsets.

Because of fires in southern Oregon we have had some beautiful sunrises and sunsets. These photos are courtesy of KGW viewers.
