Learn from the Poppies
Like poppies, life is beautiful, fragile and fleeting,
Remember you don’t have to be killed at war,
To lose your life,
Cancer doesn’t have to be rife,
You can float through life striving for more,
Rather than making the most of every chance meeting
We should be silent at 11 O’Clock
Remembering those that gave us liberty,
Stillness and quiet, is a dying art,
Real conversations, swept away as we dart,
About playing at being happy and busy,
Losing your real life of simple pleasures that rock
