RED CARPET The little red poppies, Who in the winds path wave, Remember the soldiers, Heroic and brave. The sound of running, And shrapnel flying, The sound of living, The sound of dying. The rattle of rifles, The booming of a mine, The passing of lives, The passing of time. The war is gone, And the lives of young men, But forever and ever, We will remember them.
