Favorite Quote:
Most of our lives are a series of images, they pass us by like towns on a highway. Sometimes a moment stuns us as it happens and we know that this instant is more than a fleeting image. We know that this moment, every part of it, will live on forever

You painted your soul

A part of your heart

I saw your work

I looked at your art

There were pictures of you

alone in the dark

A cry for help, the need to make a mark

Though you might not know it

Your art is saving my world

Your art is what matters,

its keeping me here

I see your eyes, theyre filled with fear

of not being remembered, of not being heard

But its making a place,

A place in my heart

Your art is what matters

its the only thing for me, I fear

its keeping me here

It is what's keeping me here
