Poppies are a symbol of remembrance!
“Poppies”

Soldiers jump from the boats and hit the sand.
They're running for their lives!
Thousands of Poppies blowing in the wind.

For many, it was the first time away from home.
Fresh out of school, serving their country.
Head held high and shoulders back.

Your nerves were on end, with words stuck in your throat.
You pray to God to give you the strength,
As your feet hit the sandy beach!

All you can remember is dodging bullets.
Your heart was pounding in your ears.
And the blood-red poppies!

So many soldiers have fallen in these fields,
Memories of those lost around the world.
Forevermore in our hearts!

"Poppies" are a symbol of remembrance,
Love, hope, and encouragement for all.
For a future that others have sacrificed of themselves!
