I Will Wear a Poppy On Remembrance Day

In college we had a minute’s silence on Monday. It was started by the fire alarm and finished by the alarm. We had been told before. I stood by my desk. And thought of the millions who had fought and even died so I may be free. My friend who sits by me came in half way through. She’s from Ireland. She had no idea what we were doing. She stayed silent but I explained after.
