"There You Are""

Idea from a book write.

    "There You Are"

You follow me...everywhere,

No matter where I go.

If I am going too fast,

Or when I am going slow.

Every time I turn around;

There you are, it seems.

Sometimes I wonder if,

You follow me into my dreams.

When I walk down the street;

I turn and there you are.

I have often tried to shed you;

But I have never got that far.

If you walk before me...

I seem to be tagging along.

On my right or on my left

Our friendship must be strong.

You stick closer than a friend;

Yet I give you so much less.

Surely this closeness is not what is best;

Why not leave me and seek out the rest?

I guess from the day of my birth;

Until they lay me in the sod;

You will stick closer than a brother;

About as close as God.

I guess there is a moral,

Or an ending To this tale...

Turn around and you might see

Your shadow tailing you as well.
