I was walking one day
And noticed my shadow following me
Being an adult with a walking stick
I stopped and looked at my shadow
I then gently took my walking stick
Lifting up the edge of my shadow
What did I see
The smaller, younger, child that I used to be
He said in a child's voice" you grew up and left me behind. I have been living in your shadow this whole time."
I felt sad and a little ashamed
I had never ment to put the child side of me away
However that is the way of the adult world it seems
Work our life away and forget about our dreams
It shouldn't be that way
There has to be a better way
Be the adult
But not leave behind the child inside
