Heart’s gold this Ms Lilly White,
with rosy cheeks, flowered hat,
and gloves to match each floral dress.
She is also Ms Simplicity in act,
as with neither television, book or intellectual chat,
speaks her mind, and sticks to that.
Endowed with love for fauna too,
she takes on tasks with such great zest,
as she is nature’s girl – the very best.
Be it saving cockroaches or reforming
Killer Sharks with Jaws of Life, she moves
each soul into act - all because she’s Ms Lilly White.
A blessed soul she always is - although sometimes
opinionated too; she’s communicable and not a nerd -
her achievements attest of comrades-in-zest.
The world needs those such as Ms Lilly White,
for she has heart of pure white gold, filled with
love and rays of spice to tackle nature’s need at best.

Thanks for the award. It was such a lovely contest. Ms Lilly is sure a wonderful lady to have around. Not sure if this is the intended, but a wonderful character for a children's book. Thanks for the opportunity to have entered your competition. Please enter mine if you have not: Sill of Silence - http://allpoetry.com/contest/2385727 Frans
