I remember waking up on cold winter mornings,
Clearing the coal from the fire place,
Replacing it with new coals and lighting it up
Warming the house up seemed to take an age,
I remember watching TV there were only two channels
Black and white picture that used to roll,
So you’d hit the top and hit the sides
And there were no such things like remote controls,
The grocer van would visit the street every day
My mum brought goods and promised to pay another day,
He would write it down and say that’s ok
There was trust back in the day,
There were people in vans selling candy floss
Toffee apples that I loved the most,
The paraffin man with the coal man
Everything you needed right at hand,
back in the day it was simpler then, not a lot of money
But there was very little debt,
You had to make do with what you had
And I had very little but the love of a good mum and dad,
Who are no gone and that’s so sad,
But they live on in my memories
Of days of old, in an age of gold,
And white Christmases and long hot summers,
Or was that just a dream rather than just a memory.
I want to protect and keep that world alive, so beautiful, Faux๐โค๏ธ
