The wind takes each Hake- They dance to the merry tune That silver sleigh bells make- They whirl in the light of the moon! A dull, grey day . . . Dressed in a cape of fog, Wearing her hat of darkness And gloves of gloom. I look around the happy kitchen now: Mother looking down on a small girl with pigtails, who holds in her small thin hands a cup of bub- bling hot chocolateg Grandmother smiling as she closes the oven door on the rich fruit cake, Grandfather, his big frame bent over the board, rolling dough as he sings a lively Welsh hymn. I cannot help the tears which come into my eyes or the hard lump which forms in my throat. Grandfather and Grandmother are dead now and Christmas is very lonely without them. But all things must pass away and though the moments themselves are lost, the memories are kept in the heart where they grow golden with age and lovelier with each year that passes. The world would be a lonely place without memories. The world can no more do without memories than it can do without the rose, or the birds, or the laugh of a small child. All your life the happy moments are yours simply for the asking - a treasure within your reach.
