Hannah's ANZAC poem

Poppies are red the water was to,

to the soldiers who fought we salute you.

For the lives that were lost and the souls never freed

all for our land the enemy selfish greed.

Memorials stand proud and tall to commemorate the war

they will stay standing for the soldiers who had to take their final fall.

Rest in peace say the gravestones of many

because peace is really what we fought for

but instead we had horror.

The 25^th of April is the day given to them for what was taken,

for them the memory will never start fading.

They fought for us so we could be free

their duty was clear

it was life or death no time for fear.

We ware them on us on Anzac day

the one little flower can remind us of so much

we keep them tight in our clutch.

Families never forget the months

their Father, Son, Grandfather, cousin, Nephew or Husband

never came home they were gone.

The poppies show their red for the fires that burned out

for the sun that never seemed to shine

for the blood we were never meant to see

and for the eyes of the enemy defeated.

Poppies are red the water was to,

to the soldiers who fought we salute you.
