Through The Shadows.

Through the shadows, the year passes by,

A child is born, he cries and crawls, following his shadows along.

He soon becomes a teen, that jumps and play, about, watching his shadow grow with him,

He keeps growing still, as his shadow grows.

He soon become a man, with obligations and commitments, still his shadows remains,

Going about with him, without sharing in his realities.

Soon he starts a family, and keeps growing still,

Now with different shadows, that accompany him about, as he grows still.

Now in old age, sitting beneath a tree,

Looking across the wall, facing his shadow on it,

He is wondering where the years went to, how he go here still,

Through the shadows, the years passes by.
