Row Upon Row Poem by Emily Casbourn

Row Upon Row



</>Row upon row of flowers
In this cemetery it is so common
They bloom and flourish
Like lives born then taken
Born then reborn later on in life
We stand tall for them
They fought for all of us
Family members and friends lost in battles
You barely remember those voices
Men and women fighting for you and me
One moment of silence is all that was asked for you
You ignored it because you didn't get it
Row upon row poppies will always stand tall
You ignored the reason for remembering those lost in battle
It isn't right to do
You wore that poppy still for no reason to what you know
You thought you could do better then what they did
After all now you understand
Go fight then
Maybe you'll finally learned why we remember
Nothing is ever right for us
You don't learn without some experience
No one really does
That's why we make mistakes
Row upon row
You now stand in the cemetery
Commemorating a friends life
He died for his family
He died for you
Row upon row
Now do you see why?
The flowers stand tall
The stand tall like the soldiers do
To remember why they fought
This is why we call it remembrance
Remember those who lost lives
They fought hard and died
They died for us to have good lives
Lest we forget
Don't forget
Remember!

Have a good rememberance day and stand tall walk tall don't shed tears
for those lives lost smile and show them you know they did what they
could for us!
