       Oh! Poppy, beautiful, Poppy 

       It reminds us of the soldiers who

       fought for us and brought peace and 

       kindness to the world ........

       Far ahead you go for the war.

       Please come back we miss you all.

       You have given your hearts and souls 

       to save us all!!!!

       You may not be anymore, but we still 

       adore you.

       It was a long war but you made it 

       through, because you were strong!!!
