the medal
Olympic Medals
I dislike bragging
But once I won a Bronze medal
For running
Sixty metre
I wore the medal
Every day
And when going to bed
Put it under
My pillow.
One day it was not there
I think my brother
Took it
It was found behind the bookshelf
Yes, we only had one
10 years later
By then I had become blaze
Gold was the goal
But I had never won a thing
Since my day
Of copper coloured brilliance

Wow. Isn't it sad how those who are jealous are often the closest to us?
My father told me once that jealous people will do everything they can
to take from you what you have NOT because they could have it too,
because they can't. But, simply so you won't have it either.
