Do we truly understand
The meaning of this day
Wearing of the poppy red
Seems most respectful way
But that is hardly even done
So barely does suffice
To honour those both here and gone
That made such sacrifice
To us that live in countries safe
From travesty of war
We must make special efforts to
Be deeply thankful for
Our safety and security
We seem to take for granted
Protecting is a thankless chore
Requires nerve substantive
I’m not naive to say that truce
Is just a wish away
I won’t diminish gravity
We all feel on this day
But still I hope that we will learn
The drive of hate must cease
And appetite for endless war
Be lost, in name of Peace…
