My Shadow

 

We have such fun

at hide and seek,

I never cheat -

I never peek.

I turn around

and count to ten,

Then when I look

he's there again.

We laugh and laugh,

his timings great -

It never fails,

he's never late.

My shadow knows

my every thought

Even toys

that I have brought,

Then when I greet

a brand new day,

I find he's left

and gone away.

But he'll be back

with me tonight, 

The moment I

snap on the light.

Every time

he hears that click

He's here beside me

just that quick.
