A song

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.

We look at our children like this for sure. But what a blessing to have been or be a parent.
