Candlesticks Polished

Friday afternoon's shadows hover over her morn Awaiting the Sabbath soon to be born Candlesticks polished Pressed tablecloth white Come, Day of Eternity Illumine the night _____________________ The Sabbath begins today at 4:12 p.m. in Chicago

Thank you, kind sir. It was a very peaceful Sabbath. Here's to a restful end of the Lord's Day to you and yours, John. Peace, Gershon

Thank you, Caren. Now I have some surprising news for you: It's the world's Sabbath. Every western language except English calls Saturday Sabado, Sabido, Sabbato, etc., etc. So, Sabbath Peace to you. :) gw
