JOY BY THE CANDLELIGHT ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Inside walls where shadows dance bright, Lived Max the mouse, heart full of light. By the soft candle's glow, He would shiver, you know, As he warmed his tiny paws through the night. In the glow of the moon, Max felt bold, With stories of cheese to be told. He laughed with delight, In the soft, golden candlelight, As sweet dreams of bountiful feasts did unfold.

Dear Sara, I love how you bring Max to life with such tenderness. The soft glow of the candle and the gentle moonlight create such a safe haven for dreams and laughter. There’s a sense of childlike delight and comfort that shines through, inviting us to cherish the little joys found in quiet moments. Blessings, My Dear Sara, Daniel
