Today Canadians paused at 11 AM for two minutes to reflect on all who died for Canada in many wars fought far away. This year, for the first time, Meg and I had red poppy flowers pinned on our lapels too. On a sunny day like today, the red flowers are bright blood-red on dark lapels. And they are everywhere: on the street, in the office, on the bus and train and tram, in schools and markets and sport games. Red poppy is the flower of Remembrance Day when, every November 11th, Canadians remember their soldiers.With red poppies comes this great poem and its story.
