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
