My Shadow

By Laura

Shadow, how is it you are always there?
You are the first I see when I awaken from my sleep
I see you glance at me beneath my nimble toes
Your dark silhouette follows my every move, ushering me throughout my day until the
sky blackens and day turns to dusk
So, how is it, Shadow, that you are always there?
I do not know
But, when I close my eyes and lay to rest
I know you are the
When I awake at daybreak I look forward to another day with you
My Shadow
