The red poppies grow
This weekend we remember those who sacrificed their lives for our Freedom. Let us never forget or take anything for granted.
The red poppies grow

The red poppies grow
There where the men lay
Blood spilled for our Freedom
Blood not spilled in vain
For our Freedom was built on their Souls
Those who gave all so that we could thrive
Let us never forget them
Let us not endeavour to merely survive
Every single one of us
Gets to make choices every day
We're alive with infinite possibilities
We have the power a New World to create
A Utopia where all Life is sacred
Where War and Destruction are Defeated
Where Love and Peace and Harmony
Create the Light that our Souls need

"Our red poppy is a symbol of both Remembrance and hope for a peaceful future. Poppies are worn as a show of support for the Armed Forces community. The poppy is a well-known and well-established symbol, one that carries a wealth of history and meaning with it."
