Sewing, darning, not idly sitting
Cooking, mending, cleaning, knitting
Dusting, sweeping, raking cinders
Busier than Polly Flinders
Hugging, loving, tending, kissing
Worrying when kids go missing
Hand to mouth and day by day
A paragon in every way
Sirens wail and all awaken
Windows rattle and houses shaken
A sleepy, frightened, helter- skelter
Down the stairs, into the shelter
Dank and dismal, dark and fearful
Huddling, shivering, children tearful
Engines throbbing in the sky
Hopefully theyll pass on by
Though explosions thunder far away
They survive to face another day
Thus ends a night of stress and strain
Then dawn arrives to start again
