Jesse,
If this is a literal poem about a real person, she sounds like an adventurous person who is kind to everyone. She seems to give hope and love to all. It is sometimes easier to understand others than yourself.
If is metaphorical, Day is morning which brings hope to all and gives them release from fear.
Keep writing and stay healthy

    Hello Joan. I am glad you can see both the literal and the metaphorical in this poem. I love it when readers' interpretations flex their imaginative muscles.
    You have got the most out of a special day and that deserves a high five from me!
    I will keep writing and stay as healthy as can be.

A nice tribute to those special people who make the world bearable for us. I liked the upbeat tone, nice job with the images of light and emotion to get us to see 'Day' as you do. It really speaks to the idea that it is the people around us that shape our experience of life. estory

This is a very well written piece but I am so glad you said 'Day' was a person. I thought it was but the end threw me a little as I thought of the saying, 'you never know what a new day will bring.' Thank you for sharing and have a great week.

Well Day sounds like a most wonderful friend, a muse, an inspirer, a force that makes you a better person, just by her presence.

There are some lovely lines in this tribute, and of particular note, where her feet touch the earth and she can dance freely among the flowers.

She is the sun in sunshine.

A most enjoyable read today, Jesse. :))

    Yes, Gypsy, we are lucky to have each other. Day is special to me as she floats in and out of my life so freely. I haven't seen her for a while but she always returns in the end. Thanks for understanding.
    Thanks for the Gypsy hugs as well!

This is a tremendous tribute to Day. Never gossiping or being mean is indeed a great characteristic, and your last line is an absolute gem:
'Never knowing what to expect yet always leaving with more than when I came.'
I loved this post
