You can win me and lose me but never buy me You can not eat me and never want to part with me I can make you cry or bring you joy I am not a machine and definitely not a toy You keep me but i am not forever just yours You might find me in a case or on a shelf next to a vase I am hard and i am tall if you bump me i am sure to fall I am made of different materials and am at many events If your lucky and fight hard I might be yours What am I ?
