I am the only living soul Here in this wild poppy field. Surrounded by the graves of those Who fell in battles fought so long ago. Men whose battles must have seemed futile And women hard at work, Fighting. Fighting for the future. The future of all mankind. I stand alone in this poppy field Surrounded by memories of long ago. So many memories, So many battles fought and won. So many battles fought and lost. We must never forget these people. Their sacrifices gave us our freedom, The freedom that we have today. We owe such a lot To these brave men and women Who fought, suffered and died for us, The people who fought in our name And those who are fighting for us now. I pick a poppy And place it on a grave. Such a futile gesture, Yet so poignant. I will never forget.
