I dont usually write much about my pages in the gallery but Id like to for this one as it has a special meaning for me. I have also scraplifted myself...hehhee
I believe we all have angels watching over us and even though our parents, grandparents and great grandparents may no longer be with us they still have influence in our lives and are an important part of who we are.
In this page I tried to create an image of a child of today being visited by the spirit of a child from the past. (hence the vintage toys etc)
Two children of the same age but separated by 60 years in time. The pose is even similar...
The child from the past is actually my mother at age 4 this is my very favorite photo of her and very precious to me.
The poem on the page is psalm 91:11-12 - about Guardian Angels.
My Guardian Angel
Dear Angel ever at my side,
how lovely you must be---
To leave your home in heaven,
to guard a child like me.
When I'm far away from home,
or maybe hard at play--
I know you will protect me,
from harm along the way.
Your beautiful and shining face,
I see not, though you're near.
The sweetness of your lovely voice,
I cannot really hear.
When I pray, you're praying too,
Your prayer is just for me.
But ,when I sleep you never do,
You're watching over me.
psalm 91:11-12
