"When I look into your eyes,
It's like watching the night sky,
Or a beautiful sunrise,
There's so much they hold….
And just like them old stars,
I see that you've come so far,
To be right where you are,
How old is your soul?
Well I won't give up on us,
Even if the skies get rough,
I'm giving you all my love,
I'm still lookin' up.
And when you're needing your space,
To do some navigating,
I'll be here patiently waiting,
To see what you find….
Cause even the stars they burn,
Some even fall to the Earth,
We got a lot to learn,
But God knows we're worth it…..
No…I won't give up…
I don't want to be someone who walks away so easily I'm here to stay and make the difference that I can make….
Our differences they do a lot to teach how to use the tools and gifts we got…we got a lot at stake… And in the end you're still my friend, at least we did intend for us to work, we didn't break, we didn't burn, we had to learn, how to bend, without the world caving in, I had to learn what I got, and who I am, and what I'm not…..
I won't give up on us,
Even if the sky's get rough,
Giving you all my love,
Still looking up….still looking up….
I won't give up on us,
God knows I'm tough enough,
We got a lot to learn,
God knows we're worth it,
I won't give up on us,
Even if the sky's get rough,
I'm still lookin' up……." ~ I Won't Give Up
by Jason Mraz…..
….is the song my painting tonight represents……
And so, as another day goes by, just a reminder you can't ever give up on the things you love….not ever….and I have written (and painted).
Today's painting: The Night Sky
That is a nice piece of work.
Absolutely stunning! – Maggie
That is truly beautiful!
That’s lovely, and a wonderfully representative song.
Also, I love the purpose of your blog.
I love the idea of marrying a poem or song lyrics to your painting. Beautiful work.
Loving your drawing progress. Can’t wait to watch your in-person demo next week.
