Why a Poppy?

FLANDERS FIELD In Flanders Fields where poppies grow, Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly. Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved and now we lie In Flanders Fields.
