For, You Frodo

by MerrytheHobbit

Merry's thoughts about Frodo during the time of the War of the Ring.

I departed the Shire for you, Frodo.

Those days of lightheartedness seem so long ago.

I joined the Fellowship for you, Frodo.

For you I endured that journey full of woe.

I entered into the darkness of Moria for you, Frodo.

Only for you did I descend into the lands below.

When I was captured by orcs, I was still trying to help you, Frodo.

Please forgive Boromir; he repented, yet died by an orc's bow.

I helped awaken the Ents for you, Frodo.

I had to do something, you know.

I fought in the Battle of the Pelennor Fields for you, Frodo.

I thought of you as I stabbed the Black Foe.

I desired to fight at the Black Gates for you, Frodo.

I wanted to fight; yet, I was too hurt to go.

I suffered that journey for you, Frodo.

We are bound more deeply than you'll ever know.
