Remembrance Competition Poem

Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow
by The Cranfield Detachment Army Cadets
Bedfordshire ACF

Yesterday and days before, they gave for us.
An ultimate sacrifice absorbed in history.
With a belief in righteousness.
Each with their own story.
And then, the poppies grew red.

Today and now, it continues.
Our heroes still fall in fight.
Always something in the news.
With no end in sight.
And today I wear my poppy to remember the dead.

Tomorrow and forever, I hope for peace.
For everyone to unite as one, whatever they believe and do.
I wish for all the fighting to cease.
A better future to look forward to
And until then, I will wear my poppy to remember the dead.
