Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

Wear Your Poppy

Wear Your Poppy
                          by Bob Moore © 2019

It really doesn’t matter which side
you wear a poppy, just wear it with pride
to honour those who went to war
the things they did, and the things they saw

Most of us will never know
the sound of a rifle, a shell flying low
the loss of a friend, in the blink of an eye
Those lines of wounded men passing by

We sleep in our beds, all snug and warm
not waiting and dreading what comes with the dawn
Because of those who fought and died
so wear your poppy, and wear it with pride

Brian Sambourne September 14, 2021 at 10:46 AM Well written, Bob. I certainly agree that those brave soldiers who fought on our behalf deserve recognition + remembrance. Best wishes, Brian Robert J Moore September 15, 2021 at 5:10 PM Thank you Brian, my father fought in 2 wars, WW2 and Korea, he never spoke much about it, but I wonder how I would have handled it.
