wrote this today thinking about the unknown Anzac soldier who was moved back home to become the NEW ZEALAND unknown soldier, from Caterpillar valley cemetery in Longueval a few years ago and the new unknown found only last year and also buried in caterpillar valley
THE POPPY,
THE POPPY I AM WEARING, I WEAR IT WITH PRIDE
EVERY POPPY TELLS A STORY OF SOLDIER'S WHO HAVE DIED
FOR ME IT WAS MY GREAT-GRANDDAD WHO'S BURIED ON THE SOMME
HE'S LAYING THERE WITH HIS PALS KNOWING THE JOB GOT DONE
THOUSANDS NEVER MADE IT HOME
THOUSANDS WITH NO KNOWN GRAVE
AND IF YOU GO TO VISIT THEM
WITH FAMILY OR JUST SOME FRIENDS ,
STAND FOR A MOMENT AT A UNKNOWN GRAVE,
