to say the least! The drawing is by Alan Lee, the rhyme is mine.
To save a whole world was a harsh undertaking,
But hope was reborn, out of shadows awaking,
For fears were unmade
But the price that was paid
Was you.

you have outdone it this time...e_H is unable to express words this time.

Elven by name, Hobbit by nature
'Road lead ever on and on
down from the door where it began
now far ahead the road has gone
down from where all began' -FOTR-
and through all the world has changed
the ages come and go with time
and yet those remain unchanged
unto they journey westward
over the sea...

After reading your comment, I thought the small print at the bottom might not be enough credit to Alan Lee! He, as I'm sure you meant, is the one that deserves the wow.  But thanks.

Thank you for posting that and I enjoyed the entire poem, also.

You've said so much with so few words! Love it.

Amidst my poignant tears
Looking at this
I wish I could
Draw like Alan Lee
And write like you...
But after all, does it matter
That I can't?
For there is Alan Lee
And there is you
So all is well...

I love this drawing (nice rhyme too) - Elijah Wood is really difficult to draw, with most pictures not looking much like him. This is perfect. I wants it...
