Take a Word Challenge - New Year

 
"I believe the children are our future,
Teach them well and let them lead the way.
Show them all the beauty they possess inside.
Give them a sense of pride to make it easier.
Let the children's laughter remind us how we used to be".

Lyrics from "The Greatest Love of All" - music by Michael Masser and lyrics by Linda Creed.
 
The beautiful photo is from a collection put together by BW Sarudy - "It's about time".  I coloured it from original black and white.  Elements and backgrounds by Rosey Posey of Scrapbookgraphics.

    Dear Marie, this is a brilliant way to close your 2013 collection of art. What I like most is that you print in your art your style. When someone sees your work knows that is your creation.
    Have a fabulous new year, dear friend. I hope I will create more next year...
