The Little Boy and the Poppy

A little boy with tousled hair
And a drop-let on his nose
To put a coin in the poppy tray
I believe he stood on his toes

He slowly took a poppy
And pinned it upon his coat
As I watched that little boy
A lump came in my throat

His mom and dad maybe told him
That his Pop fought in the war
And I saw the gift of freedom
In that little boy and his bright
Red poppy, he proudly wore.
