Kelsey doesn’t know how to say her name
Kelsey doesn’t really know how to say anything
She grunts and groans and reaches for things
It can be so frustrating.
She pulls your hair, she gives that sidelong stare
She craves your love and longs for hugs
She won’t sit still, no she won’t I say
Sometimes you wish she’d just go away
But Kelsey smiles, Kelsey laughs
Kelsey loves to sway and dance
She giggles, she twirls
Kelsey and the music, a whole different world
And I swear she sees angels
I swear she has the inside tract
Kelsey shows that knowing glance
And you know there’s no going back
She pulls you in, she catches you off guard
Before you know it, she owns your heart
You’re a prisoner of her charms
You’re captured, wrapped up in her arms
‘Cause Kelsey smiles, Kelsey laughs
Kelsey loves to sway and dance
She giggles, she twirls
Kelsey and the music, a whole different world
Author notes
For my cousin Kelsey who has Down's Syndrome. It is simply a hardship to be with Kelsey, but you can't keep from loving her because she is simply beautiful inside. When she turns that music on and begins to dance, you can't help but laugh right along with her.

Thanks Danna for checking out my poem. I was kind of bummed about being removed from the contest. This was the first poem that I've been able to write in a long time where I just pulled it from my brain for a specific subject. Usually the poem comes from sudden inspiration, in turn forcing that it be written. But at least this showed that I still have it in me to be creative on demand. Thanks again.

Too bad your were removed from the contest. It does have rhymes. I guess some people need to be hit over the head with rhyme. I prefer a more subtler write. Nice job. It put a lump in my throat.

I'm sorry you didn't think that the poem rhymed, but I wrote it especially for the contest and made sure that there was rhyming. They are not just obvious rhymes. But have fun hosting the contest.
