The Friendliest Flower.

This is Davi.

She has a yellow face

with white petals

all around it.

Oh.

Actually,

that's a daisy.

But it ain't no coincidence

that Davi and Daisy

are just one little consonant apart.

They're both the friendliest flower.

Emily said last week

that Davi

listens with her heart.

And that's just right.

There's a physical power

that I feel some days,

in my heart

and in my limbs,

just knowing

that Davi is real,

that she lives,

she exists,

she loves me,

and will listen

with an ear

for finding the things

about me

that she loves.

She always cries

when she talks

about her dad.

I am so grateful

for her dad,

because he loves her

so much,

and without him,

I don't think

she would be

the Davi she is.

And I need Davi

the way Davi is.
