The Poppy

It`s just a little flower
painted red and green
it reminds us of our Veterans
both the living and the dead

In the year of thirty nine
young men went off to war
some of them came back
others will return no more

These young mengave their lives
so freedom they coud save
now they`re buried over there
in the unknown soldiers grave

it is now november and 
thoughts they turn to snow
but lets remember Flanders Fields
wher the poppies grow
