My Shadow By Mary J Williams © I have a shadow That follows me around It has four legs And to me she is bound When her buddy died I took her place Wherever I go This shadow keeps pace I walk to the bathroom And she lays outside the door Doesn’t come in often Mostly she sleeps and snores Going to the kitchen She looks over her shoulder Making sure I’m still coming Imaginary leash holder I feel sad for her She misses her friend She even smells the ground Wonder when this will end. Her scent is still around My shadow knows she’s there Even though the floors Don’t have as much of her hair If you haven’t guessed My shadow that follows me Is my other dog Lacy No matter where I go, she is what I see I love this little shadow I am happy she is around Hope for a long time We will always be bound. Lacy- my little shadow
