Sorrow and joy

by Valinor Sunset

This is a poem and it is meant to be about the breaking of the Fellowship. If you think of different separations and deaths from the books and the movies as you read it, it may make you as sad as it made me writing it.

When your burden grows too great to bear

When your comforter is gone

When your only friends are separated

That is being alone.

When beloved companions sacrifice all

And fellowship becomes broken

Remember them and what they've done

And that will be your everlasting token.

When day turns into blackest night

And joy turns into sorrow

Fear not, for sorrow lasts a day

And comfort will come tomorrow.

When brave companions, loyal and true

Become memories or the past,

Life is still there to be traveled through,

And there will be peace at last.

I'll meet you down the road one day,

In the bower just 'round the bend.

Where we will be together

And the day will never end…

Though old friends have departed,

And the path seems long and rough,

Be strong and take courage,

Even though you may not be tough.

For the road has many bends

And the hill seems not to have a crest

There are valleys and deep rivers

But in the end there will be rest.
