My Shadow

God sometimes gives us big blessings in small forms. And one of the best things he has given me comes in the form of my shadow that's less than 2 feet tall. A little shadow that's seldom more than 3 steps apart from me, and one that gives me joy.

I'm grateful to God for His big blessings in an erstwhile forlorn, but now perpetually cheerful small form.

At the time
When shadows fall
I glance at mine
Expecting one
Straight and tall.
But in its stead
A furry lump
Short and plump
Enthusiastically walking
With a waggly rump.
