Dear Editor:
Each year as we pin on the crimson poppy
Let us so proudly recall those dear names inscribed on the wall.
Choose just one – who so bravely cheerily, waved and died
On some farmers lonely plough field, his blood he bravely lost over there.
Choose to remember that extra special one
Our Father in Heaven for His own has chosen!
For evermore those petals four will remind us
Of the brave men who bled and died over there.
That poppy can help us as we read the names on that wall
For those boys tried to believe that this time they would really achieve
That impossible War that would end all the wars
With that blood red poppy daily recall, all those dear names on that wall.
Sytske Drijber,
Rockwood
