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.
