Sorry Les, I didn't mean to offend you. I was solely thinking about the intimacy of writing a song for his wife. Even if you were John Lennon responding I would have had the same thought. Well... withstanding the miraculous nature of such a thing if it did happen.
I understand that your criticism was constructive, and you were advising him on the mechanics of songwriting. Which is something I sure couldn't do. When I wrote my response I wasn't considering that it could easily be perceived as diminishing the value of your input. Sorry about that.
In fact, I listened to your rendition and was inspired by easily you could make up a song to go with his words. There are quite a few of you guys on here that are quite accomplished muscians and the songs you post humble a beginner like me to the point where I think I could never come close to playing like that. It's nice to see you post a simple melody that sounds so good. It actually makes me think I might be able to write a song.
