A DAY TO REMEMBER

As the poppy petals fall It is then I recall A winters November eve Cosy and warm, with my mom In front of the tele Watching the Remembrance service From the grand Albert Hall It was important, she said To remember. I didn't understand then Just knew my heart felt strange As I watched the soldiers parade. Then it was up early next morn To go to my aunts In Stechford, a bus ride away To stand at the Cenotaph Wrapped in scarves, the family together It was important, they said To remember. I didn't understand then Just knew my heart felt strange As I watched the soldiers parade. Ever since then as I have grown older I have always put aside that date in November I understand now, why it's important to remember And it is pride that I feel in my heart As I watch the soldiers parade.
