Fields of Red of Poppy Leaf

Fields of red, of poppy leaf The fields where so many brave came to grief Brave men indeed who refused to kneel To give freedom to others, we remember them still Fields of red, of poppy leaf For Those men and boys who passed we grieve The light extinguished in their eyes But the dream of freedom was realised Fields of red, of Poppy leaf Freedom for all was their belief This is the gift that they bestowed The gift they gave as their lifeblood flowed Fields of red, of Poppy leaf Years have passed and still we grieve We remember the fallen, the brave that have gone The men and women all standing as one. The Fields of red, of Poppy leaf… Armistice day 11/11
