wonderful piece..."snuffed by a wish" is quite a powerful line, had never thought of it that way, very creative. Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

Nice...candles can set a very romantic mood...as you get older you don't like to see so many candles on top the birthday cake...I let one candle represent ten years...James |
