RED IS FOR THE COURAGE OF ALL OF THOSE WHO SERVED
RED IS FOR THE CARNAGE INTO WHICH THEY ALL WERE HURLED
RED IS FOR EXPLOSIONS RINGING AROUND THEIR HEAD
RED IS FOR THE COLOUR OF BLOOD TOO MUCH THAT THEY ALL SHED
RED IS FOR THE SKYS AGLOW THE DAY THEY LOST THEIR LIVES
RED IS FOR THE ANGER FOR THEIR HEARTFELT SACRIFICE
RED IS FOR THE SEAL FROM THE WAR OFFICERS MAIL
RED IS FOR THE BLOODSHOT EYES BEHIND THE WIDOW'S VEIL
RED IS FOR THE WREATH WE PLACE UPON THE SOLDIERS GRAVE
AND RED IS FOR THE POPPY OUR WAY TO REMEMBER THE BRAVE

GOD BLESS EACH AND EVERY ONE
