Come and sell a “Poppy”
I’m asking for one hour, not much you will agree
To come and sell a poppy and give your time for free
That’s not too much to ask, for their sacrifice
You have an opportunity for you to be their voice
Although their lives are over, they sit within our heart
Whilst we still remember them, they never will depart
They gave their lives for freedom, without a second thought
In the face of tyranny, they went and bravely fought
They never saw their loved ones, to hold their hands with glee
They sacrificed their lives for us, just so we’d be free
We surely owe them dearly, even for a single hour
To show that we remember them, that is in our power
It’s not about the politics or what side you wear them on
But to show we are so grateful for those that now have gone
It fills your heart with joy for the esteem the poppy holds
It is a ancient symbol, but it never will get old
Come and meet the public of every faith and creed
Everyone is different, but the same blood we all bleed
If you can spare some time and you want to do your bit
Just get in touch with me, for the times you can commit
