"Sunrise, Sunset"



Misted up on the corner of River and Water Streets today, remembering how Mama used to sing "Sunrise, Sunset" to me as a child.

"Fiddler on the Roof" was probably my first introduction to Jewish life, long before I read the "All of A Kind" family books or ever saw "Crossing Delancey."

That memory came to me a flashback nearly 45 years later, and I took it a as sign that Mama is proud of what I am doing.

Misting up all over again writing this right now.




 
Sunrise, sunset,
Sunrise, sunset,
Swiftly fly the years,
One season following another,
Laiden with happiness and tears ~
