Does your shadow dance a lively jig
    Or flicker on your wall?
Does it gently come and quietly go
    And change from large to small?

​

Does it lightly dance upon the sand
    Or tremble under trees?
Perhaps it simply follows you
    And waltzes on the breeze.

​

When dark clouds cross the sunny sky
    And hide the shining sun,
Your shadow likes to hide as well
    For hiding is such fun.

​

Then when the rain begins to fall,
    Your shadow starts to fear
The sun will never shine again
    And so it disappears.

​

It hasn’t really gone for good;
   There’s no cause for concern.
If you turn the lights on in your home
    Your shadow will return.

​

It’s very firmly tied to you
    For you’re its special friend,
And it’s promised to stay by your side
    From birth until life’s end.
