    Christmas Bells
    Long time passing, short time gone
    Christmas bells, cold and brass
    Hang in the windows, gleam in the firelight
    Sound softly if the breeze is right
    And not at all if the children are gone.

    Oh this is a real tear-jerker! A powerful petite pen that speaks profound volumns! So true, so true! I was once told that it's the sound of children's laughter that gives breath to the wind making the bells chime. 10 +

    In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

    Franz Kafka (1883-1924) Czech writer.
