This isn't exactly a good poem necessarily. It's main redeeming feature is that it is done as an "acrostic" on the words "UNKNOWN SOLDIER"
as you can see in RED.
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: MY ROLL OF DICE
(C 1998 ) Josie Roberts
Understanding is the prize, see his presence in
their eyes.
Neighborly tosses to save the dross.
Kingship at reasonable prices to entice it.
Neighing like a horse when you divorce.
Only believe if they practise what they preach.
Wishing we knew more about the things we dare to
adore
AND
Slowing down enough to give encouragement.
Obeying when you can, asking about the
obligations of righteousness.
Loving truth where you find the tooth.
Dating your friends w/o having sex.
Insisting on order and no wishy-washy when the
chips are down, with exceptions if blessed.
Expecting envy to turn into faint praise of the
emptiness.
Risk a little to save a few friends from grief
or at least from torment.
