-A very nice tribute, Jesse, and an interesting name for your friend.
-It's almost like she personifies an actual day.
-You begin with a good comparison with the butterfly and the bee.
-She sounds like a wonderful friend and person who
enjoys life and the people she meets and gets to know.
-I think you said enough to show us what she is like,
and how special she is.
-Thanks for sharing it and have a great day and week ahead.

    You are welcome, Jesse. I didn't notice anything as I read it. I read first and then write the review.

    I am sorry. I was in a bad headspace when I answered your review.
    Please, accept my apologies.

    No need to apologize, Jesse. I did notice a few places for a comma. I will get to that later.

She sounds like a wonderful person, who spreads happiness wherever she goes, and It sounds like she is greatly enriching your life, which is wonderful. A special "Day" indeed. I have a friend called Sunshine! Hope you are keeping well.

    I try to always be honest, Jesse. As a short piece of biographical non-fiction, it is lovely! Your tone is warm and honest, and your admiration comes shining through. I noted no errors!

    You are a good friend!

She sounds like a rare and amazing person - I think we all need at least one character around us who can raise our mood without fail and put some colour into those grey mornings. Beautifully written.

Hi Jesse, we all need someone special in our life. Someone who lifts us up. Someone who sees the good in us and the world that we live in.

Of special note:
A free spirit. She's bold and bright as a summer's day.
(How lovely)

A beautiful tribute. Keep the blue waters flowing. LateBloomer

    Hello, LB.
    I wonder why the fourth star? Did you not like something about this post? Usually, when a person gives a fourth star, they tell the author why they gave it. Your kind review gives no notice of how to improve this post.
    Please, clarify your response.

    Hi Jesse, thank you for asking. It was an error. I will go and fix it now. From my review, you can see that I really liked your story, so I'm so glad that you asked. LateBloomer

Each time she visits there are differences in our world, but we all get to share her. This is a lovely poem about your willingness to see the beauty in the world.

I'm thankful for "Day," too! Although she really seems like a real person who is your dear friend, your poetic prose could be read also as a symbolic and personified character of the "day" when everything is open, honest, and clear. Delightful prose!

Those special people in our lives, though very few, make everything better than they would have been without them. It would be nice if everyone had one. Thanks for sharing.
