My Shadow
by Wayne Bayliff
© 2005 by Wayne Bayliff

 

It's next to me just at my side
throughout the long hard days

Wherever 'light' is cast it’s there
and there it always stays

I like it where it rests and is
because its part of me

It fits me well, it's just my size
it's comforting to see

But on gray days- just such as this
there's nothing I can do

but pray inside my heart and mind
my wish will soon come true

I long for light, my shadows gone
whatever shall I do?

I want it back where it belongs
- my missing shadow's you.
