Sunrise, sunset, swiftly flow the years...

Sunrise, Sunset, 5 x 7 #watercolor card

I don't know any song that moves me more than "Sunrise, Sunset," from Fiddler on the Roof, as a father sings about his children growing older.

This is the time of year it seems to hit even closer to home, as a year nears its end, and another is just over the horizon.

Every day is a journey...'tis a time of nostalgia, of memories, of hopes for the future...footprints in snow soon to be gone.

"Sunrise, sunset, swiftly fly the years...."

                        --Fiddler on the Roof, Sheldon Harnick, Jerry Bock

 One of the most moving, and saddest, songs I know of as a father is "Sunrise, Sunset," about daughters, and sons, growing older. It is haunting and always brings tears, tears mixed with joy.
I thought about that this morning after painting "Oklahoma Sunrise" yesterday, part of the WorldWatercolorMonth daily challenge
So again, the metaphorical aging shack at the end of another day, companion piece for yesterday. 
Sunrise, Sunset.
