Remembrance – Poppies whose roots are in man’s veins drop and are ever dropping, but mine in my ear is safe, just a little white with the dust.
Break of day in the trenches (1916)
Isaac Rosenberg
So many people died so that we could live in freedom. We can look at poppies now with peace and hope, not war and fear, treasure these sunny British poppy fields and enjoy their tranquility.
