My Shadow
A Faithful Friend

How can i thank
A most faithful friend
Whos by my side
Has always been
Who’s never judged
Nor left my side
Everyday together...
But left at night
This friend, whose name
I never knew
Who never spoke-
This friend was true
How can i thank
This true great friend
Whom my life has always followed
From beginning - till the end....
My dear true friend
Of whom i knew - so little
Uncovering his past
Was like an unsolvable riddle
I’ve tried and tried
With no avail
Remember how we met....
When? and where?
But then with time
When life got slower
A young man no more
But Much wise....and older
I knew that my true friend
Who forever stood by me
That when i died and went away
My true friend..again...I’d never see
My friend who never left my side
You too--- have a friend like me
Who goes away at night
And only in the day you’ll see
How can i Thank you my true friend
Who has no name and most don’t know
That the friend I thank so much..
Is simply ...my shadow.....
