The Rose and the Shadow
.
The rose spoke o the shadow:
"But why do you follow me?"
The shadow replied, "Never have I seen
A beauty to rival with thee."
.
The rose blushed in confusion
And didn't know what to say
The shadow, courteously said:
"Let me stay near you if I may".
.
"It is only by your substance
That I may take form
Your very existence enables me
To exist and perform."
.
The rose and the shadow thus
Became the closest of friends
From sunrise to sunset
The shadow the rose defends.
