Leave Behind Your Shadow

Leave behind your shadow
For its a piece of who you are

You lead a life full of memories
Hard work
Joy & great tears
But
If you leave behind your shadow
A piece of you will last beyond your years

Every human is a treasure
For whom will leave a mark

All your efforts will have been worth while 
As you reach the light after its been dark

Leave behind your shadow
Leaving a part of you along your way

Leave behind your shadow
For your essence is here to stay
