The Poppy Poem by Maya Robena

The symbol of those who died,
The symbol of the war,
That left many in the fields,
To be buried without a name,

The symbol of Flander' s fields,
Where so many soldiers lie,
Never to return,
To the Family they left behind,

The symbol of their sacrifice,
Their futures they gave to war,
The grief they caused to many,
And the lives they never lived,

The symbol of those who still live,
And fought in the fields of war,
Who witnessed many horrors,
And saw their comrades die,

The symbol of rememberance,
Of the sacrifice,
Of the lives,
And of the war.
