I don't own Sam, or Frodo...wish I did, i heart them so! But Tolkien owns all and I'm glad )

Sam's Story

I saw the fear in his eyes

The happiness long ago past

And yet he smiled his lonely smile

Bringing tears to mine own eyes

As I saw a light deep within; a light that is his own

I knew not then what that light had meant

Only that he was still whole and pure

A simple glimmer of hope renewed

In a world consumed by anger and hate

And happiness a battle in itself

With strength only found in hope

I knew it was the end

The end of what? Even the wise could not tell

It did not matter – not then, not now

Yet it set my mind

It became my story for a moment or two

As I climbed that mountain side

With the weight of my dear friend and hero

The ring his burden and he, mine

I played my part for him and him alone.
