ROSEMARY POWELL (POPPY SELLER)

Rosemary Powell to millions is just a name 
She died recently which is a tragic shame 
Rosemary was 103 when she passed away 
The longest serving poppy seller the stories say 

This remarkable lady was born in London town 
Despite personal tragedies she never got down 
Lost her first fiance and brother too 
These are the horrors of what war can do 

At Richmond Bridge is where it all began 
Poppies being sold Rosemary helped her Great Nan 
97 years of her life to help the victims of war 
Rosemary Powell would now be remembered forever more
