My shadow was the better part of me

My shadow was not silent

My shadow had many names

My shadow had a furry face, and a waggly tail

My shadow enjoyed his dandilion puffs during long walks

My shadow would wait by the birch tree, until our kids got home from 🏫 safely

My shadow would bark and bite at the mower tires with ferocity

My shadow loved to wrestle with glee

My shadow loved to watch his mumma cooking, and as she danced like a bee

My shadow would grab a few pillows and turn the couch into his nesting place

My shadow loved riding in the car while we listened to 95.3

My shadow would come and get me when it was time for sleep

My shadow never wavered during life's uncertain times

My shadow was the better part of me

My shadow will always be dear to me.
