Why does he look so much like my brother?

Because he is Estel there could be no other.

Like your brother he is a man.

And will die one day by time's cruel hand.

Can I not shelter him forever more?

I don't want to leave him when I sail from this shore.

Enjoy him now for he is a child you need to raise.

Before he leaves one day from your protective gaze.

I did not know I could love him so much.

His little hands, his kind caring touch.

Maybe one day he said on bended knee.

Valar will have mercy and bring him to me.

As the child raced open arms to him.

He said I will think of today and not the end.
