Lily and her special friends
are always welcome here
to turn the whole world upside down
while spreading forth her cheer.

Hello Gramalot8,
It's a nice piece of Children Poetry beautifully depicting Lily's story.
Its wording is simple, perfectly matching the theme, having spontaneous pleasant flow with nice rhyming scheme, lively imagery and pictorial quality.
The most striking lines are:
All day long she'll swing and sway
Never a dull moment to be had,
"Cause Lily has a way in life
Of making everyone happy when sad.
Marvelous! Best of Luck!

What a wonderful poem this is. Many special children are exactly that.. special in their sweet, kindly ways. Maybe not as athletic or academically talented as others, but they have a way of reaching hearts and creating smiles. I've known a few in my day, and everyone was a winner. :)

Good child-poem .It is appreciable.You need more reading to write the poem of everlasting quality.Universal quality of child or children is reflected in the line given below
"Cause Lily has a way in life
Of making everyone happy when sad."
"Cause Lily seemes a little odd."
"She's not different... she's a gift from God!"
"Her infectious smile will win the hearts"
The line below reflect my view in my poem
"Peacock feather of Lord Krishna"

This is a lovely story in a poem, Gramalot8. There are lots of īspecialīchildren around who bear their pain without feeling the slightest bit sorry for themselves. They are the worlds little unsung heroes even though they donīt think of themselves as such. Good luck in the contest! xsx Sandra

This is a fabulous poem about a very strong minded and happy little girl, who has given so much joy to her well deserved parents.


Against all odds, she grew healthy and strong
"Though the doctors warned she wouldn't.
Her Mommy and Daddy, they knew better
And Lily never hears the word 'COULDN'T'.

well done. Mary

Overall, I think this is an adorable piece. It's something you can share with children. My one complaint is that the rhythm is off. If you read the first stanza aloud, you'll notice the cadence is disjointed. Other than that, I enjoyed it.
