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

Can you help me "word for word" on how to center my poems?? PLEASE?? I must be duh or something. I am pretty good with computers. But following the directions isn't working. I thought well maybe I need it written out like a child or something. LOL!! I would appreciate it. Have a blessed day Karen
