a poem from Rosie to Sam
Sam, sweetest of hobbits
You were so shy that night
I felt your soft eyes watching
Watching me dance in happiness
Yet it wasn’t complete
Your arms weren’t around me
Holding me gently to yourself
My heart sang when Frodo pushed you
And then I felt you
Your firm calloused hands
Around me
Your face close and smiling
With the music we danced
Around and around
We went
My heart went as well
I was complete here
In the arms of the one I love
I dream of that night often
Remember your eyes
Every detail of your face
Your voice
Because you were taken away
On a mission
Gandalf told me little
All I can do is hope that you will be back
One day
Then we shall dance again
And if I have my way
My heart’s way
We will dance our whole lives
Live in peace together
Hold our babies softly
And we will dance
