Lily lived in a magical place were elves and fairies were happily faced!
She would lay down by the river and take off her shoes
as the sun shone brightly she knew exactly what to do...
The summer sun would shine on Lily's day
as she skipped and jumped and played.
There was Rona, Rebel and Rue, 
they sat on their pads when Lily came through.
Now all this time Lily was alive,
but no one had ever told her she was a flower on the side.
As the dragonflies snapped, and the children came near
she would listen and wish they had no fear...
Lily heard them tell stories so much
the river it never seemed out of her touch...
Lily was just a flower left in the pond
where she had never been.. so far beyond...
Her shoes were the pads that the frogs sat on
the children were her pleasure as summer moved on...
The fairies the frogs... and the bugs
did not let her play she was snubbed!
Lily did not understand that she was the beautiful one
but then she had a visit... from the sun!
The sun told Lily you are special my dear
and if you�re ever lonely I am right here...
That day she was not afraid anymore
for Lily finally understood what she had not before...
Now if you�re different and sometimes alone
just remember we�re all different in some way
and your heart and choices are your own!
