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
Siren wails,and all awaken
Windows rattle,houses are 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 they’ll pass on by
Explosions thundering far away
They survive to face another day
So ends a night of stress and strain
Then dawn arrives to start again
