The Girl From the Humber Road
By: her son
She was but a teenager in Newfoundland
Teaching school and living at home
In a small house on the Humber Rd
She had no desire to ever roam
Her sister had a pen pal once
A soldier boy from Prince Edward Island
But her sister had a boyfriend
Who she knew wouldn’t quite understand
When Private Perry got posted to Newfoundland
Before he was shipped overseas to war
It was Edna met him at the train station
And she knew she wanted him for evermore
They were married in a quiet service
In his Khaki uniform he proudly stood
She was 5’8” and he was 5’4”
So jokingly on a wooden block he stood
Tears and letters were their marriage
For the four long years in trenches as he fought
Back home little Peggy was a walking, talking doll
And his dna’s arms were all he soug
They raised nine kids and loved them all
Standing bside by side till the angels took them away
She was my mother and I’ll always miss her
Until my own time comes on Judgement day
God bless you. Kathy
