My shadow is a friend that merely never ages
His life an open book with at least 60 pages
No hurt no pain no wrinkles on his face
Never out line and always in his place
He's never had to love... disappointment not at hand
Opinions he has not but will always make a stand
The sun the moon can help him cast a glow
Not a worry in the world regret he does not know
Money's not a factor for this he does not care
No matter what I say or do he'll always be right there
So when the day arrives and go to greet the sun
If he is not beside you, you know your time is done
