Her Little Shadows
by Martha Wadsworth
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 on to her skirts,?
Hanging on to 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!"
Now that my son is crawling, he literally follows me around the house. It's so endearing but every once in a while if I really need to get something done, it can get a little frustrating. In those moments I try to remember this sweet little poem and be grateful for this precious phase of my life. I know that one day, when he's all grown up, my heart will long to have him here again, following me around and sitting at my feet once more.----------------------
