Here's another Art Journal page for you. Its all about the many "labels we find our self landed with. The paints are Adirondack Dabbers , the background stamps are Tim's and the character stamps are Invoke Arts. The labels are how other people define you and are not a true reflection of the inner you, who seems to get lost amongst it all. Therefore the character does not have my face, just my labels.
Mama thank you for who I am
Thank you for all the things I,m not
Forgive me for the words unsaid
And for the times I forgot.
Mama remember all my life
You showed me love, you've sacrificed.
Think of those young and early days
How I've changed along the way.
And I know you believed
And I know you had dreams
And I,m sorry it took all this time to see
That I am where I am because of your truth
And I miss you , yes I miss you.
Mama forgive the times you cried
Forgive me for not making right
All of the storms I may have caused
And I've been wrong, dry your eyes, dry your eyes.
Because I know you believed and I know you had dreams
And I,m sorry it took all this time to see
That I am where I am because of your truth
And I miss you, yes I miss you.
Mama I hope this makes you smile
I hope you're happy with my life
At peace with every choice I make
How I've changed along the way.
Cause I know you believed in all of my dreams
And I owe it all to you
Mama.

Hope your workshop goes really well - I'm sure it will even tho' there maybe some extra teardrops on the project. I still consider I'm a daughter - now an orphan too. See the definition; Daughter \Daugh"ter\, n.; pl. Daughters; obs. pl. Daughtren.

Thurs 5th March I had the fantastic experience of seeing Il Divo in concert at Sheffield arena, when they sang Mama I don't think there were many dry eyes in the house. 6 years ago I was where you are now Dyan,and a friend sent me a card with the following words:-"WHEN YOU REMEMBER ALL THE REASONS WHY YOU LOVER HER, SHE WILL NEVER TRULY LEAVE YOUR HEART"
ReplyDeleteIn time I learnt to appreciate all the wonderful memories, I had the absolute privilege to be part of with my wonderful Mum, without tears, hope it isn't too long before you can also.
