Sunrise, Sunset
(from Fiddler on the Roof)

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

Sorry ... I messed up the coding so reposted the opening.

When my son was married (in a wedding celebrating all the Jewish traditions), this was the song that was played when he and I danced together, alone on the ballroom floor, at their reception. I did fine, until I heard the words, “When did he grow to be so tall?”

I looked up at this 6’1” handsome man, now married, and the tears started.

And, they started again, this morning, nearly fifteen years later, as I relived that moment. Thank you, Amy and Billie.

Friends ... I had planned to spend a little time here yesterday but the day flew by.

Marissa and I spent the afternoon at a birthday party. Since they party was at a Jump House in Fresno, it was a long day. One and half hours driving (round trip) and two and half hours at party.

But, I did read the thread .... last night and this morning.

First ... Meg .. thank you for being a beautiful hostess. Your graphics were awesome, as always.

The Mayor .. Your Daily Bread posts yesterday and today were truly appreciated. It always helps to start the day with a scripture lesson.

Jaycee ... thank you for your beautiful graphic and congratulations on your first table. Ya did good. Thank you for the beautiful posts you bring to Amy’s Place.

Kitty Mittens ... Beautiful Lord’s Day graphic and scripture. Thank you for sharing them with us.

Conor ..... Your Sunday prayer was fantastic. Thank you for the link to Amazing Grace and the lyrics. Your post was beautiful.

LadyJ .... Your Lord’s Day Graphic and scripture were wonderful. I LOL’d on your Mule Day graphic. And I join Meg in thanking you for your hard work on the Fundraiser Threads. You are appreciated. Sorry I missed bumping the last thread. :(

Fish Hawk .... “Worship is of the Mind” is truly beautiful. “When Dark Cries Out for Light” was another great Lord’s Day poem. Thank you for sharing them with us.
