Poppy Road Poem by ANDREW BLAKEMORE

One hundred years lest we forget
Those souls who fought and paid the price,
Who left their homes for foreign lands
And gave their lives in sacrifice.

In tribute to those village men
Who served within that wretched war,
They dressed the street in scarlet red
And wreaths were placed on every door.

'Twas such a moving sight indeed
That people came from far and wide,
To walk the length of 'Poppy Road'
And pay respect to those who died.

One hundred years lest we forget
Those souls who faced such angst and pain,
And yet forever in our hearts
Their memories live and shall remain.
