Song information
Stan wrote this lovely poem and invited me to cover it. I lost my job and my home and my email, but I remembered the offer. Stan posted his lovely version. This is my cover.
I can't read music or clap in time. I could have worked harder to formalise the tune. But, I like it.

Lyrics
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.

Wow! Great iteration of my lyric/poem. Thank you very much! The illustration here is really telling the story of the lyric! Pray for peace, my friend! The other alternative is going to be really sad for us all!
