The last ride of Sam-Wise Padfoot
With Princess Arwen he was conveyed
to the place to be carried away
Grey Havens
years of loyal service
companion in good and bad
A mighty warrior
to share the load
Lambis bread in my pockets
I didn't keep any
for the return trip
for the Eagles would bear him hence
the sweetest baby
always at my feet
side by side
layers of black fur
worn down teeth with brown centers
he laid down and was petted
matted fur, cataracts
shaking legs
always wanting to be with me
safe from pain
he slipped away
the unending isles
