I hold you gently in my hands
for fear that you may break,
I’ll watch you and look after you
I promise to keep you safe,

I’m here for you come talk to me
I promise to never scold you

Hello! Great piece you have here! I’m making a feature banner for the group Oh So Emotional and I was wondering if I can use your piece in it (I would not alter it in any other way than cropping it). I plan to post on the front page of the group all the names of those people that allowed me to use their works in the banner with a link back to their album. Please let me know if you wouldnt mind my using this lovely piece! Thanks!
George Kypreos replied 17 days ago
