SHADOW RACE (Monday Poem)

by Shel Silverstein


Every time I've raced my shadow
When the sun was at my back,
It always ran ahead of me,
Always got the best of me.
But every time I've raced my shadow
When my face was toward the sun,
I won.



from A Light in the Attic by Shel Silverstein, 1981, Harper & Row
