Armistice Day
, Remembering Armistice Day
The towers moat now swathed with red,
Ceramic poppies made of clay.
They count those fallen, it's display
Gives tribute to the brave, now dead.
Remembering Armistice Day,
Nations once more, in silence pray.
A truce if broken, shows instead
Ceramic poppies made of clay.
Two wars, too much a price to pay.
Time to reflect, what lies ahead.
Remembering Armistice Day,
Those Flanders poppies blew away.
Now ravens circle overhead,
Ceramic poppies made of clay.
Symbols of peace, will not decay,
Unlike the Autumn leaves, now shed.
Remembering Armistice Day,
Ceramic poppies made of clay.
