Me and My Shadow


You've stood by me throughout all these years

We've walked many a road together

In times of loneliness and despair you were always near

Together we've held our heads

Many times we've shared quiet moments 

You've helped me create

We share the same joys and disapppointments 

Our hearts fill the same pain

As a friend you have "literally stood behind me"

When the morning draws near you rise with me and  when the day 

draws to a close you lay down beside me
