A/N: Hello there, the wanderer returns. I know I've been away for a while and I'm sorry for that, but I've been quite busy as of late. I thought I'd better post something, so I decided to post this little thing which I'm quite fond of. It tells of Frodo's thoughts at the Grey Havens as he passes into the west. Enjoy!

DISCLAIMER: Unfortunately, none of the characters or places are mine, they belong to Tolkien. It's my poem though.



It's come to this, at the end of days

No turning back, going home

I've made my choice, I can no longer stay

To suffer, in silence, alone.

For years I've coped, not said a word

But no longer can it be

That I can stay in this world free from pain

In pure bliss, harmony.

Sam, my friend, please understand

For you were a Ringbearer too,

That although I've sailed far away

I'll always be with you, pure and true.

Promise me one thing, dear Sam

In years to come you'll do this

Tell our story, strong and proud

Tell our friendship, and what it is.

Sam, you mean the world to me

Through times and trouble you were there

Sam, my companion, my brother

Thank you for your love and your care.

The pain in your eyes is too much

As I take you into a loving embrace

I whisper to you "Remember"

As tears run down your face

"Goodbye, Dear Sam" I quietly say

Holding back unshed tears,

Understanding floods your face

Pushing away all of my fears

It's come to this at the end of days

All trouble and strife has passed

With one last smile I pass into the West

And I feel contentment at last.
