Why 1 Wear a Poppy The times are rough, The trencbes deep, FEach shell will bring, An eternal sleep. Captured by the Germans, Fences all about, Each day brings torment and pain. Death is the only way out. The camp's been raided, I can go home, But of my son, I do net know. Tbey lost their friends, their sons, their lives, And to this day their hope survives. So wear a poppy and thank those guys, For giving us more enjoyable lives. David Brown, Gr. 6, Lockhart Why 1 Wear My Poppy I wear my poppy, And wben people say why? 1 tell thern about the men that died. In Flanders Fields thats where they rest, They saved my country, they did their best. Their children cried for the loss of their dad, But did our country ap- preciate what kind of men they had, I wonder how many peeple remember, Thats why I wear a poppy in November.

The brave, and gallant sol- diers Who fought to keep our country free And died on far away battle- grounds To make this land a better place to be. We should be proud of these brave men Who fought for us and feli, And pay tribute to their memory For they served their country well. Now that Remembrance Day is upon us, And we see poppies al around, We should stop a moment to remember, Give thanks, and bow our heads down. by Collette Webb, Gr. 5 My Country In the war there were a lot people killed. Why do people want to remember it? 1 do not know why. My grandfather was in the war as a cook. He did not get hurt. I remember it because the people who got killed were in the war to keep peace in the world for the kids that were not born yet. 1 know that many people got killed to save otherg. That is why we have Rememberance Day. 1 hope that there will neyer be another world war. Poppies are gîven out to people because they grow in the place wbere many sol- diers were buried wben they died. People do not like to fight, but, sorne very selfisb people wanted toc many things. The poppies are red to show the blood of the sokiiers who died. Many, many people went to war, and, some did not corne back. The people who make poppies are the men and women who sur- vived in the war and some are handicapped.
