margate sumwear by the sea

FOR THE FALLEN

With proud thanksgiving, a mother for her children,

England mourns for her dead across the sea.

Flesh of her flesh they were, spirit of her spirit,

Fallen in the cause of the free.

Solemn the drums thrill; death august and royal

Sings sorrow up into immortal spheres.

There is music in the midst of desolation

And a glory that shines upon our tears.

They went with songs to the battle, they were young,

Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow.

They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted,

They fell with their faces to the foe.

They shall not grow old, as we who are left grow old:

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning

We shall remember them.

They mingle not with their laughing comrades again;

They sit no more at familiar tables of home;

They have no lot in our labour of the day-time;

They sleep beyond England's foam.

But where our desires are and our hopes profound,

Felt as a well-spring that is hidden from sight,

To the innermost heart of their own land they are known

As the stars are known to the Night.

As the stars that shall be bright when we are dust,

Moving in marches upon the heavenly plain,

As the stars that are starry in the time of our darkness,

To the end, to the end, they remain.

margate sumwear by the sea

WHY DO I WEAR A POPPY

Why do I wear a poppy?

I’ll tell you if I may,

Because I believe remembrance

Is not only for one day.

I wear it for the fallen,

And for those falling still.

For those who come back broken

In body or in will.

For the parents, spouses, siblings

Where bereavement takes its toll.

Whose pain will never leave them,

It eats into their soul.

For the wino on the corner,

Of his old life nothing’s left.

Now he wishes when in battle

He had died a hero’s death.

For the lad who loved a kick-about

In the park with all his mates,

But now his legs are held together

With pins and metal plates.

For the selfless men and women

Whose final journey home

Is in a Union flag-draped coffin

On comrades’ shoulders borne.

For all those marching proudly

In Remembrance Day parades.

My poppy’s worn in gratitude

For the sacrifice they made.

margate sumwear by the sea

The night is old and the morning is young,

It is at times like these we should think of our heroes unsung.

Men who died for country and Queen in many battlefields unseen.

Men who fought for truth and honour.

Men who would have opened the gates of Valhalla.

But Valhalla is a place veiled in mystery

And not spoken of in British history.

So please raise your voice and sing with me.

Raise a glass and take a drink

For these men and women who forged our past,

For in their memory our future lasts

The inquisitive mind of a child

Why are they selling poppies, Mummy?

Selling poppies in town today.

The poppies, child, are flowers of love.

For the men who marched away.

But why have they chosen a poppy, Mummy?

Why not a beautiful rose?

Because my child, men fought and died

In the fields where the poppies grow.

But why are the poppies so red, Mummy?

Why are the poppies so red?

Red is the colour of blood, my child.

The blood that our soldiers shed.

The heart of the poppy is black, Mummy.

Why does it have to be black?

Black, my child, is the symbol of grief.

For the men who never came back.

But why, Mummy are you crying so?

Your tears are giving you pain.

My tears are my fears for you my child.

For the world is FORGETTING AGAIN.

I know men who have served their country and some are on here too.

It’s easy to forget what they’re going through as we complain about the weather, the bus being late or being stuck on the motorway. We moan about our bosses, having to work late or take on extra work. We can at least go home every night, sleep in our bed, see our families and friends.

Our serving service personnel on active duty are away for months at a time, working in all weathers, under stressful circumstances constantly and can’t escape from it. We shouldn’t remember them on just one day but every day we should thank them for keeping us safe.

Thank you.

In Flanders fields the poppies blow

Between the crosses, row on row,

That mark our place; and in the sky

The larks, still bravely singing, fly

Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago

We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,

Loved and were loved, and now we lie

In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:

To you from failing hands we throw

The torch; be yours to hold it high.

If ye break faith with us who die

We shall not sleep, though poppies grow

In Flanders fields.

Agreed- my 9year old daughter will not forget- i for one will be proud to watch her standing and singing with her choir at our local rememberance service tomorrow-- wearing her poppy with respect and pride for those who gave their lives, those who are putting their lives on the line, old and young, male and female.

Dulce et Decorum Est

BY WILFRED OWEN

Bent double, like old beggars under sacks,

Knock-kneed, coughing like hags, we cursed through sludge,

Till on the haunting flares we turned our backs,

And towards our distant rest began to trudge.

Men marched asleep. Many had lost their boots,

But limped on, blood-shod. All went lame; all blind;

D*unk with fatigue; deaf even to the hoots

Of gas-shells dropping softly behind.

Gas! GAS! Quick, boys!—An ecstasy of fumbling

Fitting the clumsy helmets just in time,

But someone still was yelling out and stumbling

And flound’ring like a man in fire or lime.—

Dim through the misty panes and thick green light,

As under a green sea, I saw him drowning.

In all my dreams before my helpless sight,

He plunges at me, guttering, choking, drowning.

If in some smothering dreams, you too could pace

Behind the wagon that we flung him in,

And watch the white eyes writhing in his face,

His hanging face, like a devil’s sick of sin;

If you could hear, at every jolt, the blood

Come gargling from the froth-corrupted lungs,

Obscene as cancer, bitter as the cud

Of vile, incurable sores on innocent tongues,—

My friend, you would not tell with such high zest

To children ardent for some desperate glory,

The old Lie: Dulce et decorum est

Pro patria mori.

he which hath no stomach to this fight,

Let him depart; his passport shall be made,

And crowns for convoy put into his purse;

We would not die in that man's company

That fears his fellowship to die with us.

This day is call'd the feast of Crispian.

He that outlives this day, and comes safe home,

Will stand a tip-toe when this day is nam'd,

And rouse him at the name of Crispian.

He that shall live this day, and see old age,

Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours,

And say "To-morrow is Saint Crispian."

Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars,

And say "These wounds I had on Crispin's day."

Old men forget; yet all shall be forgot,

But he'll remember, with advantages,

What feats he did that day. Then shall our names,

Familiar in his mouth as household words—

Harry the King, Bedford and Exeter,

Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester—

Be in their flowing cups freshly rememb'red.

This story shall the good man teach his son;

And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by,

From this day to the ending of the world,

But we in it shall be rememberèd-

We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;

For he to-day that sheds his blood with me

Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,

This day shall gentle his condition;

And gentlemen in England now a-bed

Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,

And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks

That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.

Remembering all who paid the ultimate price.

It is reassuring to see that those proud Irishmen who gave their lives are finally being recognised in the Irish Republic. For many years their stories and gallantry remained undiscussed.

I'm English and haven't had the courage to serve, but seeing a change in attitudes is a welcome sight.

Iceland, but Aldi is closer..

I wear a poppy in the act of remembrance and thanks for those I never knew.. Those brave souls that gave their life so we could enjoy our freedom..

I wear it to remember an uncle I never met who lost his life at the hands of unimaginable Japanese cruelty, and for my grandfathers, who although survived, went through hell during ww2. One who was the proudest tommy I ever met, who was part of the expeditionary force and was injured during that time yet went to fight throughout and went on to be in the first phases of landings on D day...

The horrors he endured plagued him all his life, listening to a sleeping man talking in his sleep, having nightmares about what he saw and and went through are still unimaginable to me..

But mostly, I wear a poppy to remember the friends I lost during my service in the armed forces, friends who's blood I will never feel cleansed of, for their parents and wife who will never get over the loss of a child and a loved one, and for the son that never knew his dad.

And still today, there are men and women that are willing to pay the ultimate sacrifice to fight injustice, hatred and help the oppressed.

I thank them for their bravery and selflessness.

Heartened to see so much support for those lost and those that came home forever changed.

Both grandfathers, one granny, father and daughters father all served. Sacrificing peace of mind, health, senses as well as losing family and good friends.

The work continues to support those who need it.

Can I ask that we remember year round though? Not just in November? you can donate time, money, give your support all year round, the legion, ssafa and various benevolence funds and charities eg shelter and mind (many veterans end up homeless and/or with mh issues) would really welcome your care.

I was once impressed by a Dutch company I visited who no matter what day, everything stopped even phone calls would be cut off mid sentence if it was not hung up.

We are not talking a small business either, multi branch with thousands of employees. When I spoke to the owner he said that anyone that didn't understand was not someone he particularly wanted to do business with..
