There is a gentleness

and a comfort you’re wearing now,

so unlike the anger

and anguish that was your shield.

We’ve seen you change

from besieged warrior to

confident ruler of your world.

We have seen

and we are glad.

    Now, I see a bewildered stray feral cat, rehomed, and assuming his proper place as head of household!
