Lovely, wonderful, simple, and lyrical -- just what we'd expect from that great and famous poet, Samwise Gamgee.

Thank you, Llinos, and thank you, Professor!

You gave us a gift more precious than gold,
A wonderful dream that will never grow old.


Too true! I love those last lines. This is a great poem. I really enjoyed it!

That is so sweet. It totally works in Sam's voice. Nice little poem.

This is very sweet. Thank you for "helping" Sam write it.

Thanks for making us loyal and true,
Oh and thanks for the ale and pipeweed too.


Beautifully done! Thank you very much :-)

Cosy homes with big round doors,
You made them ours, these tales of yours.

I love it all but those are my very favourite lines. I've always loved the little round doors and he most certainly did make his tales, our tales.

Just perfect! Cheers to you and the Professor!

I love this poem so much; no matter how many times I read it I get a sort of tingle and a little teary because it's such a perfect tribute to Tolkien and a perfect thank-you for all of the pleasure he has given to so many of us. I think this poem truly conveys what is in the hearts of those of us that love his work so much and it's just stunning how 'Sam' has managed to capture that love in just the right words. Thanks for saying what so many of us feel but don't have the proper words to express ourselves!

This is really charming, Llinos!

Oh and thanks for the ale and pipeweed too.

Hobbits and their appreciation for simple pleasures.... LOL!

Sam's rustic, self-effacing wisdom shines here. Nicely done!
