Candle

A candle shortened by the years, Its streaks of wax, like beads of tears; Still burns, but with a timid flame, The light it sheds, 't is not the same.

How sweet. Guess I'll have to settle for 7's lol. Funny you should ask me. I am technologically challenged. Being helpless, I figured out this simple solution to the centering dilemma. Do as follows: After you finish typing your line, set the cursor back to the beginning and hit the space bar until the line is where you want it--for reals! Hugs, Mel
