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 they gaze...

​

Sunrise sunset, sunrise, sunset!
Swiftly fly the years,
One season following another,
Laden with happiness and tears...

​

One season following another,
Laden with happiness and tears...
