Remembrance Trees
In Flanders Fields today you see,
Poppies growing beneath the trees,
The trees have grown up big and strong,
They represent that time has gone,
The trees you see began to grow,
After our soldiers were placed in rows,
As these trees grow older and older,
We must remember the lives of our soldiers,
For with their lives they gave us their gift,
Our spirits flow freely and gently they lift,
From place to place we can move without sorrow,
For us they have given us a brighter tomorrow.

In Flanders Fields Poem

By: Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae
In Flanders Fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch, be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
