Sam

You were my gardener

My companion

The one who heard about my troubles

Your fiery red hair there

Your broken speech and utmost perfection

Made you, in my eyes,

My love, Sam

You never lied to me

Told me of Gollum's betrayal

Reminded me of the Shire when

I needed it most

My burdens are heavy

Things you can't carry

Both then, and now,

You lift me up in their steads

And it is for you

My dear Sam

That I won't let go

That my troubles go up in flames

And I survive

Here, at the end of all things

And as I get upon the ship

Into the west

You remain with your dear Rosie

Finish our story, my Sam

My companion

Remember what I said:

Frodo couldn't have got far

Without Sam
