Crimson Fields

Like a blanket of love,

Protecting the fallen,

Sheltering the brave,

Tending the graves,

of the brave young men,

Who had no choice,

To where their lives ceased

Now resting beneath a bed,

of Poppies.

I am a fifty something mother of two grown up children, and one beautiful grandchild. I have been married for nearly thirty-four years. My first book was published ten years ago. I wrote my book Sticks and Stones because of my experience of being bullied at school.

  3. A wonderfully expressed, heartfelt tribute, and one I join in for all those who served in armed forces in devotion to their homeland. We here in the U.S. are celebrating Veterans Day and my husband’s uncles all had their stories to tell (sometimes by their silence) of comrades lost or survivors haunted by loss. They deserve our honor.
