But I do, you see, it’s important to me
The reason you felt, you had to flee

Authors Note: This was a challenge from my dear friend, Michelle of Putting My Feet in the Dirt. She wrote a poem about losing a follower and two days later, I noticed I lost one, too, so I blamed her lol She dared me to write about it, so here it is, again. I thought it was worth a repeat. 🙂

Thanks so much for repeating/reprising this! I loved it. Followers are like travelers in life. Not everyone stays with you, but I do feel a little like a shepherd and don’t like to lose any of my flock of followers! Ha! Thanks so much for the chuckle!!!
