The Poppy

The Poppy - The Cockney Bard Picture Shona Allen

The Poppy, a symbol of a human's greatest sacrifice. They that give their life for a cause worthy or not. Let it never be forgotten, that when the light goes out on life, if one has given it for that which they truly believe, the Poppy shall represent them. It is the flower which grows where no one knows. A symbol for mankind's eternal memory. You have not the beauty of the rose or the sweet smell of the lavender, but you will always be the only flower that cannot be forgotten. For those that have fallen are in you!
