Shadow Of A Friend Poem by Marrissia Holliday

My feet are on the ground but my heads in the cloulds,
My thought keep running back to you,
I close my eyes so tight trying to stop the tears,
My friend is so close I can feel his shadow blocking the sun from my back,
He knows he cant help but he moves closer,
I look up at him with sad eyes he looks back,
His beautiful brown eyes growing sadder with every passing second.
I stand and wrap my arms tightly around his neck,
I know I'll be ok
Me and babe we'll get thru this,
Our friendship has lasted years now
And it only grows stronger everyday.
The shadow of my friend will sheild me from the sun
Our shadows be come one as I hug him tighter,
Behind me he stands forever,
But for today our time is up..
The sun is setting and the darkness will soon take over the sky,
Our shadows move apart slowly
I know it wont be long intill they are one again
I stop and listen to the sound of his hoofs as they hit the hard dirt
I smile and keep walking,
Tomorrow the rain may fall
But I'll still wait here for him,
Rain or shine we always find a way, we meet here everyday,
A shadow of a good friend is easy to fine,
For me all i do is turn around and there he is,
My sweet babe.
My best friend
