Weston Village Primary SchoolRemembrance Service at All Saints Church
Our community ambassadors, Harry, Amelia, Isaac, Casey and Sienna attended the remembrance service at All Saints this evening.
They did a wonderful job reciting a poem and laying out wreaths on behalf of the school community.
The fields are full of poppies
that billow to and fro,
dancing around in the wind
almost marching in a row.
The pure beauty of the poppies
is a sight to behold:
wild and free and full of life,
vivid scarlet, shining, bold.
They brighten up the land
with a scene that will not last.
How little do they know of
the dark sorrows of the past.
In the end the petals fall
like those now sadly gone.
They let them go silently
one
by
one.
Petals like torn red ribbons
lie strewn across the ground,
bring back the old memories
of soldiers lost, soldiers found.
They help us to remember
the people here before
and not forget those who fell,
tragic losses of a war.
