Poppies

Poppies always remind me
Of that very first day
When the boys went away
Sent to the unknown land
They had not even planned
Of going away
Until that very day
My boy returned home
Prone to moan
Until that very day
The men walked along the street
We danced to the stamping of their feet
After that very day
Poppies always remind me
Of that very first day
