Days to remember


Times where hard in those days
people were poor and set in their ways,
children played in the street
many with no shoes upon their feet.

Older children had to work for only tuppence a day
many became too weak, and sadly passed away.
then war broke out, young men had to fight
walking for miles, day and night.

When the war was over sadly few came back.
wives heartbroken, children a father did lack.
new towns rebuilt lives starting anew
good schools, hospitals, parks to view.

The soldiers  and the many we lost,
WE WILL REMEMBER THEM.
