With thanks to the lovely poet Becky Hemsley

Today we're remembering
All of those who
Now rest in the places
Where poppies once grew

Remembering those
Who were lost to the sea
Whilst bravely crusading
So we could be free

We'll think of those heroes
Who marched and who fell
Who fought for their lives
And for our lives as well

The heroes who flew
And who fought in the skies
Deprived of their chances
To say their goodbyes

We will not forget
What a difference they made
The risks that they took
And the price that they paid

We'll give up our thanks
When we think of that cost
The sacrifices
And the lives that were lost

Yes, here in the hush
We'll reflect on the way
They gave their tomorrows
For all our todays

So we'll wear our poppies
Of black and of red
A symbol of grief
And the blood that was shed

And here in the silence
This day in November
We'll all take a moment
To stop...

And remember
