Out of death comes a poppy red
like blood the soldiers bled
their sacrifice still shows
In the red flowers that grow
where they fought for our freedom.
Someone will always stand up for the oppressed
we are blessed
because service men and women still do this today
and they bleed for our freedom
we always need them
unfortunately in this flawed world
to make a stand
if you see them offer them a hand
because they have given not just their service but their lives
in one form or another
and they deserve your respect.
