Are there any sound devices (alliteration, assonance, onomatopoeia, rhyme, rhythm) in this poem and what is their effect?

"Some people forget that love is

tucking you in and kissing you

"goodnight"

no matter how young or old you are

some people don't remember that

love is

listening and laughing and asking

questions

no matter what your age

few recognize that love is

commitment, responsibility

no fun at all

unless

love is

-Nikki Giovanni

you and me

    Alliteration (which is the occurrence of the same work/letter one after the other) isn't in this particular poem, while assonance (occurrence of similar sounds in nearby words) exists only rarely. For example, "tucking you in and kissing you", and " listening and laughing and asking " follow the poetic device of assonance. This allows for a strong rhythm to be established. Additionally, the rhythm and flow of the poem achieved by the structure of the poem, which allows for the emotions of yearning and remembrance to be evoked and understood.
