Some People’s Shadows

Some people’s shadows

Stick with us forever

Some people’s shadows

Foreshadow a spark

Some people’s shadows

Make curious pathways

Some people’s shadows

Save you from the dark

I dreamt of my mother

And wondered what she’d do different

I wish that my father

Could again, hold my hand

I quietly hide tears under the covers

Remembering the pain on the day that she left

Somehow through the smiles, I still feel bothered

Wishing for more time to see them again

Telling stories my heart needs to tell <3 life is a journey, not a competition
