The German planes flew through the dark night sky
Dropping bombs not caring if people die
My family and I running far away
Hiding in air raid shelters for the next painful day
I step outside and see nothing but dark rubble
Our house has been burned down
We knew the Germans were in deep trouble
Bright fire and flames surrounded our home
My parents told me we were at war
As my mouth dropped I couldn’t believe it
I gazed around and saw no light
And I knew at once it was the start of a fight

The blitz.
As soon as we left the Anderson shelter,
You could see the destruction the bombs had caused.
We made it to the shelter in time.
Our neighbours though, weren’t so lucky.
Everyone rushed around,
Trying to find friends and family.
Many innocent lives were lost.
Many women and children.
Why does this happen?
The deaths of the unprotected and innocent.

We came out from our Anderson shelter
And our bodies were starting to swelter
Holes where the bombs had hit
People covered with sweat and grit
Fire burning day and night
Causing everlasting light
Terror struck at our hearts
The world suddenly seemed very dark
The remaning houses stood tall and proud
While the rubble of the rest lay on the ground
People were screaming and crying too
A girl survived whose family made shoes
It turns into a horrible night
Whenever the German bombers take flight!
