My Shadow

I have a little shadow

That goes in and out with me.

And what can be the use of him,

Is more than I can see.

He is very, very like me,

From the heels up to the head;

And I see him jump before me,

When I jump into my bed.

This is another illustration from my beloved book of children's poetry.  I have always loved this poem--having a wonderful imagination, as a child--I often danced with my shadow, imagining she was my long lost twin.
