THE RED POPPY. (what it represents to me)
The red poppy is a symbol,
In memory of the dead.
Many killed in bloodiest battle,
For whom sad tears are shed.
The red poppy is a symbol,
Of their sacrifice, sublime.
They must never be forgotten,
Despite the march of time.
The red poppy is a symbol,
and remembrance is the core.
It conveys our deep respect,
not celebration of a war.
The red poppy is a symbol,
Of freedom, hope and peace.
Wear it with pride and hope,
One day, all war will cease.
