Poppies are red for the blood that was shed
Poppies are black for the souls that were lost
Poppies are worn for the people that fought
Poppies are bright for the day the broke
Poppies are worn for the soldiers that gave
Poppies stand strong in the fields that are gone
Poppies hold dark secrets that none of us know
Poppies smell sweet for the nurses that healed
Poppies burn red for the enemy’s too
Poppies are small but play a big role
Poppies remind us of all these things the one little flower so powerful
