Poetry Sounds

At first, I thought rhyme was when words sounded alike, but I learned that rhyme is...

An example of a poem with end rhyme is below. The title is "Nerver Alone", and the author is Rodney Belcher. The rhyme scheme is abcb.

On my poetry pretest, I was below grade-level. On my posttest, I hope that I will be at grade-level.
I feel you in the morning
When at first I awake
Your thought is with me
With each decision I make
You'd been around forever
Since the first breath I took
Now I have to go on alone
But for love, I need not look
Cause by what you bestowed
In our short time together
Will last in my heart
Forever and ever
Although you've left
And now walk above
I'm never alone
I'm wrapped in your love
Enjoy now your long waited reward
Feel peace that your love continues on
What was taught to me, will be taught to mine
Cause you live on in me even after you've gone
