Mother & Her Shadows
I saw a young mother
With eyes full of laughter
And two little shadows
Came following after
Wherever she moved
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?"
She smiled as she shook
Her pretty young head
And I'll always remember
The words that she said
"It's good to have shadows
That run when you run
That laugh when you're happy
And hum when you hum
For you only have shadows
When you life's filled with sun."
