Love a shadow

            Gray in vigor

            Gold in prime

            Gone as all

            Given in gifts

           

            An endless friend

            Grown from light

            Cast beside your side

            Silent yet loud

 

            It traces your image

            Stretching your form

            Dark as night

            But bright as day

           

            It never leaves

            But it sleeps at dawn

            A family in name

            It’s always there

 

            More than so

            Loving a shadow
