THE POPPY...I will be there long after you
Why do they call me a weed?,
Why do they want to wipe me out,
I am the symbol of the past
I am the flower made to last,
Weed killer will not drive me out,
I am the conscience of your heart,
I am the lasting tribute to
The thousands of soldiers who,
Gave their lives for me and you,
SO no matter what you do,
My blood red flower,
Will always win through,
Weed killer drought,frost,
I was born at to high a cost,
No one can win , to destroy me is a sin,
I will be there long after you ,
Just like the soldier,

LOYAL AND TRUE
