My Lost Shadow
Yesterday, in bright sunlight
I turned and looked
No shadow, what a fright
Am I a ghost? So I pinched
Awakening from my dream
At the break of dawn
Getting ready to scream
Instead gave a mighty yawn
I am like Peter Pan in Kensington
Perhaps I left my shadow in bed
Be brave and carry on
Is what I said
Shadow lost and found
To life, I am bound
Yesterday's shadow was on the ground
Sewn on without a sound
