A toilsome mission bestowed to you

And a promise made that you should know

No matter what we'll see it through

And by yourself you'll never go

Through marshes murky, muck, and mire

Up steep cliffs, down any mount

Through whatever situation dire

To be with you is all I'll count

I carried you with little strength

To end the task, destroy the burden

It did not matter what the length

Being rid of It had made me certain

We went through much my dear friend

And now at last the quest complete

We were there where all things end

Our doom for sure we were to meet

We escaped our fate, for we were found

Through blinding heat and ashy showers

By eagles, lifted from the ground

Awoken by the scent of flowers

Though when at last we got back home

After shock, dismay, and final fight

You "faded out" to be unknown

I did not see you weren't all right

I never left you, but I wouldn't have guessed

that you never healed and would have to leave me.

With many tears we parted, you journeyed West

Out of Middle-Earth and across the Sea

You made me stay, for a family had I

With much to enjoy and be and do

How could that be? I knew not why

But looking back, I see it was true

My time may come, I heard you say,

The memory of your very last words

We may meet again... sometime...someday

I'll go on Beyond to the cries of sea birds.
