"Poppy's"

“Poppy’s”

(To Remember)

Each year the VFW sell poppy’s

allowing us each to remember

sacrifices so that we are free

that so many so long ago fought

in lands far from their safe homes

that all would know freedom’s cost;

 

But now with apathy so much is lost

people treating others as stones

citizenship in schools not taught

only that entitlements are all free

sadly too many of us in December

the last of the few buying poppy’s!
