Just a quick post to load a layout that I had created late last year in response to an online digital challenge, Digi Dares #247.
I had originally began working with this photo (with the same title) some time well before the challenge but never could get anywhere with it. At all. Not even a little bit. No matter what I tried (and believe me, I tried LOTS of different things). Subsequently, because of the block I set it aside and never thought of it again until . . . Digi Dares #247 (you can read the specifics of the dare . . . HERE).
Funny how just the right inspiration can do wonders for a creative block! Right?

"Concrete Angel"
Music and lyrics by Martina McBride
she walks to school with the lunch she packed
nobody knows what she's holdin' back
wearin' the same dress she wore yesterday
she hides the bruises with linen and lace
the teacher wonders but she doesn't ask
it's hard to see the pain behind the mask
bearing the burden of a secret storm
sometimes she wishes she was never born
through the wind and the rain
she stands hard as a stone
in a world that she can't rise above
but her dreams give her wings
and she flies to a place where she's loved - concrete angel
somebody cries in the middle of the night
the neighbors hear, but they turn out the lights
a fragile soul caught in the hands of fate
when morning comes it'll be too late
through the wind and the rain
she stands hard as a stone
in a world that she can't rise above
but her dreams give her wings
and she flies to a place where she's loved - concrete angel
a statue stands in a shaded place
an angel girl with an upturned face
a name is written on a polished rock
a broken heart that the world forgot
through the wind and the rain
she stands hard as a stone
in a world that she can't rise above
but her dreams give her wings
and she flies to a place where she's loved - concrete angel
