The Bronze 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
