My Shadow Is Best Security Officer

When asked for my identity, 
he sketches my photo on ground

If stranger asks some questions, 
he uses complicated sign language

When he senses danger at night
he always takes cover behind me

My shadow hasn’t left me since birth
even when I abuse and slap

Best security officer I trust completely
who is more reliable than my shadow?
