A woman who’s been through the world
And travelled the length of life and seen
And suffered, loved, enjoyed and been
By fate and teeming existence hurled
Into a play up north with me
That is how our love came to be
Our ways were joined and then there came
Two lovely daughters – long left home
But constantly with us – and you can comb
The streets of the land, there’s none might claim
A better sense of family ties
And we’re so glad for all we have:
We four, late of Mafeking Av
