I see Missy has a friend.
My ShadowYes, Tobermory ... a very close one
Thank you for this lovely poem, Tobermory ( Missy and her shadow)My Shadow
By Robert Louis Stevenson
I have a little shadow that goes in and out with me,
And what can be the use of him is more than I can see.
He is very, very like me from the heels up to the head;
And I see him jump before me, when I jump into my bed.
[Two stanzas omitted]
One morning, very early, before the sun was up,
I rose and found the shining dew on every buttercup;
But my lazy little shadow, like an arrant sleepy-head,
Had stayed at home behind me and was fast asleep in bed.*
*Must have been a cat shadow.
That shade of blue really suits Missy’s coloring.
