The Love of a Mother

by Navana

Gilraen was the wife of Arathorn, and the mother of Aragorn but at what price did she bear the hope of Men?

Only the love of a mother, A child of man Could embrace the twilight To bring forth the light

Only the love of a mother A sorrowing soul Would bring enough hope To light the way for all

Only the love of a mother A fading radiant star Could brighten the way for all But leave herself to shadow

Only the love of a mother A child of man Would sacrifice everything To save Estel
