My Little Red Poppy

My little red poppy
I watch you as you gloom
And bring out colour
For those who died at war

You represent their strength
You were their only hope
You showed life would not go on
If they gave up when they would fall

You may be a red flower
But you're full of meaning
Behind you there's a story
That till now is still important
