They worked all the hours God gave them, ‘Til they put a deposit down On a house with two small bedrooms, On the poorer side of town. Moving day came round at last And they hired a van for the day. They couldn’t afford a removal firm, So that was the only way. With the help of friends and family, They did it all in one load And soon their goods and chattels Were stacked in their new abode. The last box was safely unloaded And Dad returned the van. They celebrated later that night … And that’s when my life began. 4h April 2020 The day my life went Whaco contest Sponsor - Caren Kritsinger
