Vintage Weekly # 68: Apartment House in 1946

Once upon a time,
in the days of post-war time,
few homes to be had.

My momma shared this with me:
Daddy would get up at 4 a.m.
to line up with others
looking for a home to rent.
There were few
because of the military
returning back to the states.
When we lived here, I don't remember
recognizing what a poor
abode this was
(I never heard my momma complain.)
because 
it was filled with the love
of our family. 
As you can see on my face,
I was not unhappy.
