SAM'S BURDEN
Looking across mountain and vale Oh how I long to be home Grass and gardens, green and fresh To eye my sweetheart once again Pledged my honour and my life To protect and safely guard My master and my friend And ease him with his heavy load Long the days, even longer nights Friendship and loyalty guide me on And if by chance we see it through Homeward bound - at last some rest.

FRODO'S BURDEN
I sit on the hard rock All about me is cold and dreary I stare up at the pale grey sky Wiping sleep from my eyes Remembering better days, Of laughter and green fields. Now I look on ahead All I see is dismall and bleak Shadows and darkness fill my path Each step is sluggish and painful A heavy burden weighs me down Away from home and towards doom To the fire I must walk Bowing my head between my knees I try to think of a way to escape Begging to have it taken from me I see my home a fresh Friends and family gathered together And am once again encouraged Nay, inspired to move onward. To succeed or fail, still I must try My fate or is it destiny.

ARAGORN'S DESTINY Travelling many miles, Riding through many lands No place to call my own; no where to lay my head My boots are caked with years of dust and grime More trials are awaiting me upon the lonely road
I leave all behind waiting to come into my own Tempted beyond measure by many a soul and mind Remaining ever loyal to the cause and looking forward Kingship, majesty, love, and adoration all await me.

DEDICATION Vowed to follow him into the greatest of horrors Into the depths of the deepest unknown Never to leave his side or turn away Through it all and in battles will defend Vowed to protect and serve his master Breaking his own heart and snapping his will. Encouraging, coaxing, with all his powers Helping and carrying him through all circumstances.

THE SILMARILLI
Two trees with glorious light Their brilliance held captive Encased in crystalline unbreakable Artistic beauty - thrice the sight.
Endowed with heart and soul Perfection personified Hallwoed and blessed Desired, lusted, and stole
Vows and oaths, kinstrife and war Hidden and hunted with greed, in pride Treasure worthy of the grief Sung in countless lays and lore.
Deeds of bravery - foolish and great Intense sadness; great despair Passionate love; everlasting hope Wrapped, entwined, bound in fate.
One light soaring - evening and morn Another sunken in the depths of the sea The last burning in the fires of the earth In the end - reunited - reborn.

MY MIDDLE-EARTH VISIT
As I travelled through Middle-earth Overflowing with such mirth For the food you see Was stuffed into me And greatly enhanced my girth.
