My candle is almost at its end. Yet it's still as bright as ever. The shadows are not as long, Nor are my thoughts as clever. There in the darkness, comes this light; Small as it might be, i can see. Look at the stars in the heavens; How tiny they seem to be. Let the candle run its course And shower me with light. For in the shadows I may stumble, And fall with all my might.

I don't believe in the end. I don't think you'll fall. I think you will just, like old soldiers, just fade away.

when curse someone, don't do it to extreme; when fall down yourself, don't do it with all your might. . . a gentleman like you, George, has to be workable after a long day's creativity ;)) Cheers, alex
