A Wedding Song


A Song of Acceptance


by Andrea Lena Dimaggio

(Mother)
Is this the little boy I carried?
Is this what he was meant to be?

I don't remember ever changing?
Why did he?

(Father)
When did he get to be a beauty?
However could I fail to see?

How could it be that I have missed this
that he's gone from me

(Men)
Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly flow the days
Children growing to fruition
Blossoming even as we gaze

(Women)
Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Gently flow the years
Questions too hard for comprehension
Eased by our understanding tears

(Mother)
What words of wisdom can find now?
How can I help to ease my pain

(Both)
Now we must learn from one another
Day by day

(Guests)
They look so natural together

(All)
Just like two newlyweds should be

(the Dreamers in us all)
Is there a love in store for me?

(All)
Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Swiftly flow the days
Children growing to fruition
Blossoming even as we gaze

Sunrise, sunset
Sunrise, sunset
Gently flow the years
Loving replacing all the heartache
Blessing with happiness and tears
To cherish and to love her once again.

based on the song Sunrise, Sunset
From the Musical "Fiddler on the Roof"
Words and Music by Sheldon Harnick and Jerry Bock

Return of the tTunes!

(Well, someone had to coin a term for these wonderful reworkings of existing songs - and although tgTunes would be more accurate, the extra letter detracts from the allusion to a certain fruity music software product and accompanying website)

On the Other Hand - Acceptance

He loves her. Love, it's a new style... On the other hand, our old ways were once new, weren't they?... On the other hand, they decided without parents, without a matchmaker!... On the other hand, did Adam and Eve have a matchmaker?... Well, yes, they did. And it seems these two have the same Matchmaker!

I can just see it now..."How Do You Solve A Problem Like Transition?" SRS? "So long, Farewell?" And who can forget "I Enjoy Being a T-Girl?" Absolutely! BTW the icon below is in the file under Andrea_composer. Thanks for the support.


She was born for all the wrong reasons but grew up for all the right ones.
Possa Dio riccamente vi benedica, tutto il mio amore, Andrea
