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, 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 we gaze
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.
This is what I had to think of,
dear Tehya and Paeton,
the years have flown by
and you have grown into
beautiful young adults.
We are so proud of you!
Sending love and hugs across the big wide ocean
that has not been able to separate the making of memories.
Happy 17th and 15th Birthday to you this week.
Love, Papa and Grammy
♡♡♡

Beautiful! The years do pass so swiftly. You blink and they're young adults. Happy Birthday to your Grands.
The years seem to fly by even faster when we see how quickly our grandchildren are growing up. I love how you matched the pictures to the perfect song for this occasion!
Thank you, Elsie ... old, but true ...and thank you for visiting.
Beautiful children and what a great idea to do the comparisons. Oh has it been this long you've been sharing your family with us? Never fails to put a smile on my face. xxx Sharon
