Air raid shelters, damp and black  Bombs exploding, back to back Children crying, adults too “Down the cellar – after you" Evacuees on the train Farewells said in pouring rain Gone to live in some strange place Hoping for a friendly face.

			In the city, parents wait Just to hear of their child’s fate Knowing that they have arrived Leaves them thankful they’ve survived Memories now not theirs to make No hugs or kisses; birthday cake. Only painful loss is theirs Parting sorrow, daily prayers.

	Quick to jar them from their pity: Raids repeating on the city. Sirens screeching, chaos calls, Thunderous noise as buildings fall. Underground : imaginations, Violent earth reverberations. Why oh Why? Despair abounds. eXit all, as fear resounds…..

Yesterday for now is gone Zeal for life and peace lives on.
