watching the divine miss q tonite - i found myself thinking about the lyrics to sunrise, sunset from fiddler on the roof. we were playing in the living room and when i said " nite nite q" - she ran over to the corner and tried to hide behind the chair. it was incredible - where did my little baby go? i am now the mother of a toddler - who has the presence of mind to hide when i announce it is time for bed. the mischievous grin on her face was enough to last me for a thousand years - i could only pick her up and smile. my daughter remains the greatest blessing of my life - she reminds me what life is all about - i am so very lucky.
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 get 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 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
