the cat sits
on the patio
next to me
she won't leave
until i'm safely
inside
she is the
mother
she looks up
at me
and meows
a warm
gravelly meow
it puts me
at ease
her green eyes
glow in the night
as she looks
at me with
love
now she hops
into my lap
aware i'm busy
and purring
like she doesn't
care
she hears a
noise and runs
of to
check it out
soon she is
back by my
side
ears alert
eyes bright
ready to spring
at any danger
now if only
i could tell
he that
lizards aren't out
to get me.
