No Name

Where ever you go I'll follow
While walking hand in hand
Whenever you sit I'll sit too
And beside you I will stand

I can walk on the left or maybe the right
Where ever you want me too
I'll walk in the front or maybe behind
Whatever you say I'll do

I'll be your friend and you'll be mine
I'll never leave your side
But the darkness always scares me away
It makes me wanna hide

On cloudy days I'm hardly ever there
And never when it starts to rain
The raindrops always wash me away
It's something I can't explain

But when the sun comes out so do I
Your reflection on the ground is me
For I am your shadow who has no name
And I'll be what you want me to be

Best description of a shadow I've heard! Excellent as usual. Take care- Ralph.
