A poem for remembrance day

by Elise (Y6)

I remember

I remember how you used to smile,

I remember your sparking eyes,

I remember your golden hair,

And your laugh that filled the hall.

I remember your brave decision,

You went to war to fight for us,

I remember how you said to me,

"Don't worry, I'll be back soon."

I cried and I cried,

But still you left.

I remember the call,

And the news it brang,

But I still remember you,

Your warm smile,

Your sparkling eyes,

Your golden hair,

Your hall filling laugh,

And your brave decision.

I remember the day you left,

And the day you died.

This is why I wear this poppy,

I remember you.
