He Became the Leader
I only noticed him until it was too late,
he followed me home that day
Slipped inside, just before I could close the gate
then he ogled me with those sad ginger eyes
the meow came at just the right time,
as if to say, “please let me stay, even if just for today"
my heart melted
he found his own space
right next to my chair
the days multiplied to months,
He is part of the family now
no longer a follower,
He became the leader…
