This is a very heartfelt poem. and I'm sure many readers can relate. I have worked with special children and they were my hearts delight. not once would they say a mean word or start a fight in their world there is nothing but peace and love.
Thank you for sharing.

This is a remarkably beautiful poem that talks about a special child who spreads joy to everyone she meets. Special children are like that. They have an innocence they never lose, and while that can be dangerous in today's world, it is still endearing. I enjoyed reading about Lily!

I can picture Lily on the swing and running around. You made her come alive in your poem.
And I liked the thought towards the end, that she made it against the odds. It makes her even more special.
The lines didn't always flow perfectly for me, but it didn't matter. Nice work.

As a young man I was priveleged to work with special kids. It was the most rewarding experience of my life. I learned far more from them than I was able to impart. Thank you for this joyous and heartwarming reminder. God bless - DJ :)

This writing deserves all the praise one can give it.
A very good writing, flowing along one line and one name to the end
Through her. All the children go the blessing. Not a single word is out of place, least o all an idea, all joined to make an absolutely cute little poem.
Well done..

Benny Beeharry.

I think your poem was beautifully written. I like the way your character is developed, and the humorous yet gentle, loving tone you used. I'm also impressed by your accuracy---very few errors.

There's not much I can say as criticism. I agree with the suggested rewording of the second line, changing "and" to "to."

Thank you for a well-written poem. It's one I would post for my family and friends to read.

This cheerful and uplifting story in rhymed stanzas with humorous touches including original names for " special friends" will appeal to children of all ages and to adults humble enough to be children at heart.
Suggestions for improvement: more uniform line lengths (they now vary from 6-12 syllables); no period after "chances to meet"; replace quote mark before "cause" and "bout" with apostrophe; no mark needed before "though".
