Memories of war, may not be nice
As many paid a heavy price
Childhood thoughts can still be clear
Of how we lived in times of fear

Bombs and bullets, were sometimes heard
Sirens wailed and made us scared
Food was scarce; and rationed too
Many with gardens much food they grew

Toys and sweets were hard to get
But basic needs were always met
In shops there was no going trend
It used to be, make do and mend

People then had not the cash
Nor credit cards that one could flash
For years the coupons were a must
And sometimes treated as gold-dust

Looking back, most bounced along
And even raised a hearty song!
