"Parting" (poem)

A prompt from Carry on Tuesday # 149

This week  I've taken the first few words of Robert Louis Stevenson's sweet poem My Shadow as our inspiration

I have a little shadow

 

~ Parting ~

A distant star, a song,

And morning dew -

That’s how little

I have left of you.

A weeping shadow of

A willow tree -

That’s how little

I have left of me.

Live for the Love of it,

The Happy Amateur
