The shadow.
I had a shadow unlike any other. A thing to be cherished because it was always there unlike many others. I paid it no mind because it was supposed to be there. Day to day I lived my life while my shadow walked behind me watching and waiting to be noticed. When I fell down my shadow was there waiting for me to catch my fall. I gave no thanks or pat on the back because that's what it is there for. At times I would treat it like dirt because that's where it lived and it was only there because it had to.
Wherever I ran my shadow was always close by, happy or sad, good or bad always around in one shape or another. I started to grow fond of my shadow and in my youth it would speak and I would pretend not to listen. It was there when I wrestled and played baseball always close at hand. No matter the task I could glance behind me and there it would stand.
HOO YA NAVY! In the military I began to miss my shadow. Locked in a boat with no where to go my shadow was scarce because I hid from the light but I knew it was there waiting for me to return. In 2009 my shadow grew thin and pale. It wasn't always there now but I was there for it. After all it has done and what I failed to give in return it was my turn to catch it when it started to fail. My shadow was sick leakeing blood and tears as I cradled it. I couldn't see it like this and I cried like a babe. I could have been better to you and I know I should have dragging you around as I had my fun don't leave me now im done with my fun. My shadow reached out and wiped a tear from my face "I love you son and I am so proud".
I miss my shadow but just like before, it will always be there in some shape or form.
Be gentle. This is the first time I have posted something I have written. I don't write very often.
