Buddy Poppy

Crimson whispers on fields wide,
Where heroes sleep, dreams coincide.
Tiny blooms in hallowed ground,
Silent stories, valor bound.

Threads of bravery, woven tight,
In petals red, through darkest night.
A symbol small, in daylight's grip,
Honors those on eternal trip.

Beneath the sun, beneath the stars,
Buddy Poppies near and far,
Whisper thanks in silent prayer,
For those who left their stories there.
A moment of remembrance and reflection for the VFWs
A moment of remembrance and reflection for the VFWs
A vibrant red poppy
A vibrant red poppy stands in the center of a lush, green battlefield under a bright sky, a symbol of remembrance and honor for fallen soldiers
