Today we lay a child to rest,
Daddy cries in Sunday best,
Through mama’s veil they cannot see,
The tears she cries to set her free.
Granny clutches Grandpas arm,
As through the graveyard eerie calm
Rides the wind into the crowd,
The vicars voice unnaturally loud.
“We celebrate a life so short,
And for her heart we spare a thought,
A loving family cruelly bereft,
Of a baby girl who to quickly left.”
The mourners raise a voice as one,
Faces turned towards the sun,
They scatter Lily’s where she lies,
And sing her to sleep with lullabies.
They crumble soil a loving trace,
And her bed shifts in its resting place,
And once its’ done they do not stir,
The wholesome earth that covers her.

I have corrections, too! Yay!
1st stanza, 3rd line: Mama's -> mamas' The apostrophe goes after if you're showing possession. if it's apostrophe s, that means you'd be saying mama is veil...
2nd stanza 1st line, grandpas needs an apostrophe after it. The whole possession thing.
3rd stanza 4th line, to -> too.
If Lily's isn't deliberates, it should be lilies.
Last stanza -> You have to watch those apostrophes! 3rd line, its' -> it's. You're saying it is, right?
If my corrections annoy you, I apologize. I'm just your usual teenage know-it-all.
