&quot;My candle burns at both ends, it will not last the night. But ah, my foes, and oh, my friends, it gives a lovely light.&quot;<br /> ~Edna St. Vincent Millay

Two little girls race outside smiling, arms full of plastic dolls.
Water pools at the edge of the street where they stand.
The girls send each doll floating
As they run alongside on dry land,
Laughing and smiling as five-year olds should.
