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 winning poem was "Remember Me" by Spades Master He will receive a poetry token, as will dawn1968. Both entries were great in different ways!

phil and marcmandy will also receive tokens for their contributions to the board.

Spades Master's poem will appear at the top of the board, and will remain there until the winner of Competition no 34 is announced - which will be Spades Master again, unless anyone else enters - Come on, come on - more entries required!

If you would like to head to Recognition Tokens, I am about to request your tokens!
