Two Sparrows In a Hurricane

She’s fifteen and he’s barely driving a car
She’s got his ring and he’s got the keys to her heart
It’s just a matter of time
They’ll spread their wings and fly

Like two sparrows in a hurricane
Trying to find their way
With a head full of dreams
And faith that can move anything
They’ve heard it’s all uphill
But all they know is how they feel
The world says they’ll never make it
Love says they will

There’s a baby crying and one more on the way
There’s a wolf at the door
With a big stack of bills, they can’t pay
The clouds are dark and the wind is high
But they can see the other side

She’s eighty-three and he’s barely driving a car
She’s got his ring and he’s got the keys to her heart
It’s just a matter of time
They’ll spread their wings and fly

Hey Bluemoom - Didn’t know you were behind is. Very nice image and great tribute to us in the golden years. Still trying to find out what is golden about them - Ha! Ha!

What a great marriage of image and text - Tanya Tucker would love it as would Mark Springer the composer/lyricist.

A beautiful image and prose… simple and powerful!

Actually brought a tear to my eyes. I have seen this picture in black and white and your rendering is just great,

Mark - It also fills my eyes with tears, it reminds me of my wife and me. In two months, we will be married 63 wonderful years. Life is much too short.

Wow…very nice…

I prefer the original artists drawing/painting. As she intended.

“Die Liebe Bleibt” (The Love Stays) by Maria Inhoven.

Personally, I don’t quite see the allure of lifting original artwork already done to perfection by the artist, stripping the copyright owners name off (or as in your image blurred invisible), and merely sticking a texture or other filter behind it.

It might be fun for a home practice test, but it cannot be used for anything outside one’s own livingroom without owning the rights to the original image. And any and all accolades for the posted image actually belongs to the original artist.
