Leo

Leo is not well loved by his three daughters.
They don’t have religion.
Leo has enough for the whole family.
 He invokes his faith when Libby,
his gay daughter, mentions her live-in partner.
Thanks to his son-in-law,
who is up for sainthood,
Leo is recently settled in a memory loss facility.
I hope the young man gets Leo’s money.
Leo’s church has gifted him a smug black and white cat.
His half sister speaks to him every week
But now it doesn’t turn into a religious diatribe.

Leo is 85 and finally happy.
