Mamma&#8217;s Mamma
by: Anna Rees Henton
 Mama&#8217;s Mama, on a winter&#8217;s day,
Milked the cows and fed them hay,
Slopped the hogs, saddled the mule,
And got the children off to school. 
Did a washing, mopped the floors,
Washed the windows and did some chores.
Cooked a dish of home-dried fruit,
Pressed her husband&#8217;s Sunday suit,
Swept [...]]]></description>

In Flanders Fields
written in 1915
© by John McCrae
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 [...]]]></description>

We shall keep the faith
written in 1918 ©  by Moira Michael

Oh! You who sleep in Flanders’ fields,
Sleep sweet – to rise anew;
We caught the torch you threw;
And holding high we kept
The faith with those who died.
We cherish, too, the Poppy red
That grows on fields where valour led.

For the Fallen
written in 1914 ©  by Laurence Binyon

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 [...]]]></description>
