Culworth Primary Academy 

Maggie (aka Peggy) Gosling’s “Memories” – the original was handwritten and decorated by a hand drawn poppy. Young Peggy's poem was judged joint (with Dan from Byfield) "BEST of the BEST" out of the five junior schools in our District who entered our competition. If you read-on, we think you'll agree...

I miss my family

I miss my friends

I miss my home

And the beach where the road ends

 

And if I go

And lose my life

And if I fall

I’ll remember the strife

 

We soldiers will remember

We generals will remember

We nurses will remember

Our last member

 

A poppy is a symbol

A poppy is a flower

A poppy is the happiness

That came after a fight for power
