Little Zeke spent the day with his Poppy. He was so excited to know what his Poppy did for a living. He told Zeke a story and took him to see the Aurora which he flew on for the majority of his 31 year career in the Military. He had to have a picture taken of him and Poppy in front of the Aurora.

A Memory Of Poppy's 

August 10, 2025

By Rose Marie Rideout

 

A little boy who loves his Poppy,
Enjoys a special day together.
Listening to stories of the past,
Even though it was hot weather.

Hold my hand Poppy as we walk,
I'm so excited for what we'll see.
As you share your true story,
Just a day with you and me.

One day I will grow up Poppy,
I want to be just like you.
I may even fly that same plane,
And maybe even another few.

You must be proud Poppy,
For your service for years.
To serve for your country,
Without any fears.

The Military 's not for everyone,
Sometimes it isn't very much fun.
You have to go to a far away place,
Where at times  it isn't so safe.

Such a big plane that you worked on,
Thank you for sharing with me.
The years that you served,
Wearing the uniform so proudly.
