Author´s note: Hallo again my dear reviewers! This is Chapter 7. I finally decided to go on with the story chronological which means that I will not pick up single episodes. I hope you like it. Chapter 8 has been uploaded, too, so have a look at it and review, please :-)

Chapter 7 The Ring passes to Frodo

The journey continued, the perils were great

And they reached the mountain and the dragon´s gate,

and the dragon came forth, and deadly was his wrath

until Bart, the youn bowman did bring him the death

So the adventure ended, but many were slain

Ere the treasure belonged to the Naugrim again.

And great was the gift that they gave to their "thief"

Who had tricked the old drake. The days, they were brief

For Bilbo missed the Shire so he took his gold

And his little strong pony, went home, it is told

And he did not know that this Ring which he found

Was the Ring to which Middle-earths doom will be bound

A story that´s thought to have ended in here

Will just start! It´s a story of toil and of fear

A story in which the small people will show

More courage and strength than an Elf with his bow

More loyalty than many men of the past.

Their deeds will be remembered as long as worlds last.

And again I must start were the small hobbits dwell

Though long will be the way in the story I´ll tell.

And again we see Bilbo, who now owns something

Of enourmous imprtance: He owns the One Ring.

For the next 60 years it was him, who did bear

This One lost Ring of Sauron, using it here and there.

And he did not grow old, he was said to be rich

And have caves in his hill, lot´s of caven´s in which

Mr. Bilbo was said to store mountains of gold.

He was said to be weird, that is what people told.

And Bilbo never married and he had no spouse,

but one of his nephews did live in his house.

The boy was Frodo Baggins; he named him his heir

When his was just 12 years Bilbo did take him there

For the lad was an orphan, his parents both died

When on a summer day they once took a boat ride.

Now he lived with his "uncle". He was a good lad.

And for Bilbo was well-of, he did not live bad.

And the years they passed by until on a nice day

A horse and a carrage trod up Bagend´s way.

And Gandalf the Grey came to visit his friend

Our dear Bilbo Baggins, who lived in Bag End.

He came for the party which soon was to be

Bilbos eleventyfirst birthday you see.

But the old and wise wizard did guess, his old mate

To be tired of Hobbiton, he planned of late

To wander the lands as he did long ago

And to leave all his home and his burdens also.

And his party was meant as a final farewell

And his plan did work well. Yes, indeed, I must tell!

For in his final speech he did set the Ring on

To the hobbits´ surprise the old hobbit was gone

For just Frodo and Gandalf knew what the Ring did

This strange golden Ring, which Bilbo so long hid.

Gandalf talked to him and he told him to leave

The One Ring behind, but great was Bilbo´s grief,

for the Ring was dear to him, much more than he knew.

"Let the Ring pass to Frodo! It´s better for you!"

After Bilbo had gone Gandalf sat there in thought

Of the hard inner battle that Bilbo had fought

When he had left the Ring... Then Frodo got the Ring

Which still lay on the floor and he looked at this thing

And was sad, for now Bilbo had left and was gone.

The hobbit who used to love him like a son.

Now Frodo was the lord of the old hobbit´s home

But also he had friends he did feel so alone

Since old Bilbo had left and soon Gandalf left too.

And he said that important things he had to do.

And the years flew away but that was not all,

if you want to read on, well, I´ll wait for your call!
