Who is my friend?

I walked past the green fields

Golden grains one day which would yield

Together they grew

The little shoots all so new

I stretched beneath a tree

And looked up at the birds so free

Staying together in a flock

Just like the ships at the dock

I went home at night

When the stars shone bright

Constellation I could see

But none of them like me

For I was one

Backed up by none

I didn't have anyone to call my own

I was alone

I woke up in the morning

And did my everyday thing

But it was not an every day you see

For I didn't know what today had in store for me

I looked at the ground

What had I found!

Someone had always been with me

Who was for work and tea

Following my steps was a figure so dark

In my eyes, it lit up a spark

Wherever the light touched, it was there

We were one strong pair

It is my shadow you see

That follows me around with glee

Therewith me till the end

It is my best friend
