My Shadow
~~~
You are closer to me
Than anyone can be,
We celebrate,
We commiserate,
Are both fragile and strong,
Are as young as we feel…
Share joy and sorrow
And my faith in tomorrow.

The shadow seems to remember all the things we now can’t do. Lucky shadow, no gravity, no age

Thanks, Patrecia, I’m glad you liked it.
You have to put the flag counter on your sidebar yourself. I will email you instructions and the link. Sorry, I didn’t get your email asking me. xxx

You’re so right, Carl. We may look old as Methuselah and feel as young and frisky as a kitten, lol.
