They met in a park, whilst still at school,

She laughted at his jokes, he pushed her off a wall,

The war was on money was tight

For the couple a wedding soon in sight.

The war now finished a new mouth to feed

With great determination they strived to suceed.

A pawnbrokers flat in WC2

It was time to move to pastures new.

So out to the sticks to own their own home,

Cos after 10 years the family had grown

Again they moved, this time for good,

They reached retirement it felt as it should.

To travel and visit was their next task,

At 82 they went to Australia, what a blast!

Not many people spend a great life,

But not the case for our Dad and his wife,

Our Parents have coached, driven and flown,

Life's too short to stay at home.
