Shadows Poem by lindsay Dougherty

Shadows
We walk in the shadows of others and others walk in ours.
Our lives shine bright like beacons or are as dim as the dark.
We reach out for one and another not knowing what we will find.
Our pathways are different and not always that easy.
We often find soul mates or strangers that share in our journey.
Our footsteps are filled with pleasure but more often with pain.
We move freely through the good times and crawl slowly through the pain.
Our reward when it’s over, will be to sit in the light, there will be no more darkness.
We won’t walk in shadows but stand in his sight…
