Like Mary's lamb, you follow me,
I am your shadow.
when I am gloomy or in glee
I try to shoo away,
over me you hold sway.
over me you hold sway.
Thou art dark and hollow.
asked I, Why do you follow?
You replied , I am your friend
always and till the end.
From me you tend to divert
But never I, desert,
come rain or sun,
in sadness or in fun
asked I, Where art thou, in darkness?
Said you , always in harness.
In absence of sunlight
with darkness, I fight,
to be by your side
I do pale but not hide.
forever will follow.

A shadow is truly our companion forever...
