And because I couldn’t Help it…
The ones of long ago;
I see our mantelpiece adorned
With stockings in a row.
Of days that used to be,
When we hid presents here and there,
For all the family.
The fragrance in the air,
Of roasting turkey and mince pies
And cookies everywhere.
For Christmases now past,
And I am back in childhood
As long as memories last.
