Remembrance Day is a couple of days away. My wife's Dad was killed during political strife and before peace returned in 1945 - when she was merely 3. We remember him every year.

Lyrics
Little Red Flower
© November 11, 2014 Stan Loh
Intro   
Verse 1
The little red flower on the left of my coat,
So stately and sombre the stories they wrote,
The memories can’t buy you the tears that once fell,
The crosses and tombstones that bade them farewell,
Verse 2
One petal for courage that tasted the blood,
One petal for mistakes that ended in mud,
Another lone petal can’t tell where’s the limp,
The last crimson petal folded and grim,
Chorus
Go buy a poppy to remember the dead,
Go buy a poppy cause the shores were all red,
Instrumental  E  A   E/  A  E   B7   E   
Go buy a poppy to remember the dead,
Go buy a poppy cause the shores were all red,
Verse 3
It rains in November the cold will remind,
The dear ones had fallen for the ones left behind,
The young must remember the pain of the wars,
The little red flower will bloom ever more.

Sad but still somewhat upbeat tribute here.  Reminded me a bit of Pete Seeger here.  Great work.
