All that is
gold does not glitter,
Not all
those who wander are lost;The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.
i love this poem!

ReplyDeleteIt's nice to meet another Tolkienite! LOTR is one of my all time favorite books that I've read I don't know how many times. I really need to read it again. It's been awhile.
Hey Sharon, thanks for commenting. I know you posted this nearly a year ago. My apologies, I somehow missed it.
