I should put this on a little card to hand to people when they see me with my crew and get those big round eyes...
I saw a young mother with eyes full of laughter
And four little shadows came following after.
Wherever she moved, they were always right there—
Holding onto her skirts, hanging onto her chair,
Before her, behind her—an adhesive pair.
“Don’t you ever get weary as day after day
Your four 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.”
