Lyrics

Wear a poppy on your chest

Support our country's very best

Those who served, those who died

We remember—with pride


Why do we wear them? What's it for?

Dating back to the first world war

Poppies grew on graves of our dead

John McCrae's poem said


( Lt Col. JOHN McCRAE Canadian Soldier, Physician and Poet who wrote the poem "In Flanders Fields" )


In Flanders Fields where poppies grow

An American woman was the first you know

Wore a poppy in 1918

As a symbol that could be seen


( Moina Michael inspired by McCrae's poem wore and distributed 25 silk poppies at a secretary's conference )


Wear a poppy on your chest

Support our country's very best

Those who served, those who died

We remember—with pride


Made for our legion who

Help veterans and others too

No longer silk but the sentiments there

Yes we do remember and care


( The Royal Canadian Legion- over 320,000 members provide programs and services

for veterans, our military and communities across Canada )


Wear a poppy on your chest

Support our country's very best

Those who served, those who died

We remember—with pride


Last Friday October to November 11

Remember our heroes gone to heaven

Worn on left lapel or near the heart

Placed with thanks as we depart


Wear a poppy on your chest

Support our country's very best

Those who served, those who died

We remember—with pride


Canadians remember you and we are indebted to you


At Remembrance ceremonies, poppies are placed at the cenotaph.

They are not worn after November 11
