Red Poppies
«Why are they selling poppies, Mummy?» «Poppies, child, are flowers of love For the men who marched away.» «But why have they chosen a poppy, Mummy, Why not a beautiful rose?» «Because, my child, men fought and died In the fields where the poppy grows.» «But why are the poppies red, mummy, Why are the poppies so red?» «Red is the colour of blood, my child, The blood our soldiers shed.» «The heart of the poppy is black, mummy, Why does it have to be so black?» «Black, my child, is the symbol of grief For the men who never came back.» «But why, mummy, are you crying so? Your tears are giving you pain.» «My tears are my fears4 for you, my child, For the world is - FORGETTING AGAIN.»

Red Poppies
«Why are they selling poppies, Mummy?»
«Poppies, child, are flowers of love
For the men who marched away.»
«But why have they chosen a poppy, Mummy,
Why not a beautiful rose?»
«Because, my child, men fought and died
In the fields where the poppy grows.»
«But why are the poppies red, mummy,
Why are the poppies so red?»
«Red is the colour of blood, my child,
The blood our soldiers shed.»
«The heart of the poppy is black, mummy,
Why does it have to be so black?»
«Black, my child, is the symbol of grief
For the men who never came back.»
«But why, mummy, are you crying so?
Your tears are giving you pain.»
«My tears are my fears4 for you, my child,
For the world is - FORGETTING AGAIN.»
