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

And 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
