I saw a young mother
Wherever she moved,
Before her, behind her-
She smiled as she shook
"It's good to have shadows
For you only have shadows
~Author Unknown~
With eyes full of laughter
And two little shadows
Came following after.
They were always right there
Holding onto her skirts,
Hanging onto her chair.
An adhesive pair.
"Don't you ever get weary
As, day after day,
Your two little tagalongs
Get in your way?
Her pretty young head,
And I'll always remember
The words that she said
That run when you run,
That laugh when you're happy
And hum when you hum -
When your life's filled with sun."
