Now And For Always

Sing me a story of Heros of the Shire,
Muddling through, brave and true,
Stubborn as _______ and tough as old briar.
Never too showy or grand.
Year after year they persevere,
Now and for Always.
Hardfoots who planted
and storefol in the ground
bred to enjoy.
slow but sure
Fallowhide blood in your veins makes you proud.
Sturdy and steady they stand.
True to their aim — to stay the same
Now and for Always!
Sit by the fire light’s glow.
Tell us an old tale we know
Tell of adventure strange and rare.
Never to change, ever to share.
Stories we tell will cast their spell,
Now and for Always.
Sing me a story of Frodo and the Ring,
Fearless and bold;
Tired and cold!
A sword at his side, an elf-blade called «Sting,»
Crossing a miserable land.
Wouldn’t retreat, just followed his feet,
Now and for Always!
Sit by the fire light’s glow,
Tell us an old tale we know!
Tell of adventure strange and rare,
Never to change, ever to share.
Stories we tell will cast their spell
Now and for Always!
Sing me a tale of the bravest of them all,
Comrade and guide at my side —
Stout-hearted Sam who wouldn’t let me fall,
Holding my life in his hand.
True to the end, no finer friend
Now and for Always.
Sit by the fire light’s glow…
