I bought a poppy today
For the husbands, fathers, sons and brothers.
I bought a poppy today
For the wives, daughters, sisters and mothers.
I placed a poppy today
It was placed in a sea of red.
I placed that poppy today
In remembrance of the blood shed.
I bought a poppy today
It doesn't matter what it cost.
The poppy I bought today
Was to remember lives lost.
When I bought that poppy
It made me feel so sad.
One of those poppies today
Was for you my dearest dad.
