A touching poem by Joan Humphreys - Binfield Resident Just a red poppy, worn on a coat With so much meaning behind it A symbol of suffering With lives left destroyed Such great devastation With cities left void Through bombing and gunfire and fighting This poppy pinned to a coat lapel To remind us, lest we forget Just someone’s father, left home one day Leaving his loved ones behind him] The future unknown He set out with a stride To fight for his country Its honour and pride With dear in his heart, never turning This poppy pinned to a coat lapel To remind us, lest we forget Just a young lad, someone’s son, went too, With only his childhood behind him His plans for the future He now put on hold To fight for his freedom With courage so bold And maybe a hero returning This poppy pinned to a coat lapel To remind us, lest forget Just someone’s sweetheart, bravely set out Left his fiancée behind him Her picture went with him Kept close to his heart To be a reminder That they’d never part Gunned down in the trenches and dying This poppy pinned to a coat lapel To remind us, lest forget Just a small baby, killed by a bomb With so little life behind him Waited and longed for For nearly a year Now only a memory So short and so dear And those left behind sorely grieving This poppy pinned to a coat lapel To remind us, lest forget Just a red poppy, worn on a coat With so much meaning behind it Tells of a war fought For us in the past To give us a future And peace that would last For this let us strive, without ceasing This poppy pinned to a coat lapel To remind us, lest we forget.
