Hi everyone --
Along with everyone else today...my heart is
heavy with sadness for the lives lost in Connecticut.
I can't even imagine being one of the parents or family member of those innocent lives that were lost today -- I just cannot imagine.....
I felt compelled
to create this canvas tonight. This is my hearts way in coping with yesterday's
tragedy. I had it on my mind soon after I heard the news -- I couldn't not make this, my heart told me otherwise....
I used the words from Phillip Phillip's song "Home"
In case you can't read my handwriting ... here is the lyrics to the song I used as part of my inspo....
"Home"
Phillip Phillips
Phillip Phillips
Hold on, to me as we go
As we roll down this unfamiliar road
And although this wave is stringing us along
Just know you’re not alone
Cause I’m gonna make this place your home
Settle down, it'll all be clear
Don't pay no mind to the demons
They fill you with fear
The trouble it might drag you down
If you get lost, you can always be found
Just know you’re not alone
Cause I’m going to make this place your home
Hug them a little tighter today my friends ... hug them tighter ......
My prayers go out to the people of Connecticut - there aren't enough words to express what I am feeling.....
hanks so much for stopping by! I appreciate it! :)
