Winning Poems - Competition no 33: Write a poem using rhymes with a given word?
Remember Me by Spades Master
I hope someone remembers me when I die
Fighting with honor, sheer pride in my eyes
I joined the Corps, to be all I can be
I lay down my life, so that others live free
I’m a simple man, just a regular guy
For love of country, didn’t have to ask why
I followed my calling, to protect and serve
A peaceful nation, is what we deserve
Just pin my medals, across my chest
Please tell my mama, I did my best
Don’t worry ‘bout me, there’s no need to cry
I’m now one with God, there’s no goodbye

The world is cure and cold
When I walk the streets
I just want a place to call my own
Just a few meals a day would be fine
Give me some fresh clean water that would be nice
Why are people so mean to me
I just want a place to lay my head down
I want to feel safe
I was one of six
Born in an old box
My mama taught me to hunt for my food
Grap some scrap that was thrown away
I just want a safe place to sleep
Out of the wet and cold
I ask for little
But gain my trust
And I can learn to give you my love
I just want someplace to go
And for someone to care for me
I am so small I don't need much
But take me in
And I will give you my life
I will love you for the few years I live with you
Groom me feed me give me a bed
Take me to a vet even if I fust
But don't take me to the pound
I just want a home
