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.
Before
her, behind her-
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 your
life's filled with sun."
