There are so many things in life
That mean so very much to me~
Special sentimental things
That my heart will not set free~
But there's one thing I have at home
Its more precious than the lot~
Its the old hat my poppy wore
The most precious thing Ive got~
When I look at it I can see
My poppy standing there~
How I know he loved me so
And the way he would stroke my hair~
But God needed him to lend a hand
So my poppy went away~
But I have not got the slightest doubt
That I ll see him again one day ~.
