Why do I wear a poppy? I’ll tell you if I may, because I believe remembrance is not only for one day…. I wear it for the fallen, and for those falling still, For those who come back broken, in body or in will. For the parents, spouses and siblings, where bereavement takes its toll, Whose pain will never leave them, it eats into their soul. For the wino on the corner, of his old life nothing’s left…… Now he wishes when in battle, he had died a hero’s death. For the lad who loved a kick-about, in the park with all his mates, But now his legs are held together, with pins and metal plates. For the selfless men and women, whose final journey home, Is in a Union flag-draped coffin, on comrades’ shoulders borne. For all those marching proudly, in Remembrance Day parades, My poppy’s worn in gratitude, for the sacrifice they made. WE WILL REMEMBER THEM
