You are my constant company <br /> <br />a perfect reflection of my being <br /> <br />as you mimic me in all my actions <br /> <br />cast as extended shadow of myself <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />You hide when the sun is on my head <br /> <br />as if to disappear leaving me on my own <br /> <br />it is when I almost forget where I stand <br /> <br />with none around when times are rough <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Yet when the sun begins to hide its light <br /> <br />and life seems hopeless for me to tackle <br /> <br />I soon realized that you are at my back <br /> <br />to remind me that I still have the chance <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />With you beside and around me <br /> <br />I feel that I am still much alive <br /> <br />to face challenges in this life <br /> <br />if you're gone I'm so dead<br /><br />Marvin Brato Sr<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/shadow-112/
