Reunion! by Kara’s Aunty

Dearest Sam you are here at last!

My heart delights my Joy is vast

Your presence here in Valinor

Is all that I have waited for

.

Oh Mister Frodo is it true

That I am now returned to you

I can’t believe my eyes m’dear

It’s just a lovely dream I fear

.

‘Tis not a dream my dearest Sam

Believe your eyes for here I am

We stand together on this shore

Reunited for ever more

.

Oh Mister Frodo what a gift

Your dear face does my spirits lift

You seem so happy and carefree

Just like you always used to be

.

Oh Sam the poison that did dwell

Is gone, the Elves have made me well

The Valar banished all my pain

Their grace has made me smile again

.

Oh Sir that does me good to hear!

I wish you’d never known such fear

But now it’s gone, there’s no more dread

That cursed Thing is finally dead!

.

Sam that is not completely true

A part of It resides in you

But do not fear for you will find

It soon shall vanish from your mind

.

Dear Mister Frodo I’m not scared

Whatever’s next your Sam’s prepared

As long as I can turn and see

Your glowing Light is next to me

.

My Sam from this day on I swear

That ever will you find me there

And your own glowing golden Light

Will never stray far from my sight

.

Oh Sir that makes your Sam rejoice

To know that your beloved voice

Shall always greet my every day

That helps to take my pain away

.

Sam mine are not the only hands

To aid you in Undying Lands

Gandalf is here and all the Elves

Will want to see you for themselves

.

Why Mister Frodo surely not

Oh what a fright your Sam just got!

All those grand Elves and Gandalf too

Have no doubt better things to do!

.

My dear Sam you have still not learned!

Your place in Valinor is earned

They shall be honoured to assist

So your protests must now desist

.

All right then Sir I’ll do my best

Because it is at your request

To have such folk my hurts extract!

The honour’s mine and that’s a fact

.

Dear Sam it will not be too long

‘Til hurts have fled for you are strong

Soon you shall know the Valar’s grace

In this enchanted happy place

.

Begging your pardon Frodo Sir

Their grace does now inside me stir

For I can now my Friend behold

In joyful arms his form enfold

.

My Sam it is so good to hear

Your hobbit voice and willing cheer

Oh how I missed their happy sounds

Now they are here on Elven grounds!

.

Dear Mister Frodo I can’t take

Another step and no mistake

This lovely place just can’t be real

Despite the sand my toes can feel

.

Dear Sam it truly does exist

You saw yourself when parting mist

Allowed your boat to find the land

And step upon its silver sand

.

Mister Frodo of course you’re right

You’ve long been blessed by its sweet sight

No wonder that you look so well

It’s done you good, your Sam can tell!

.

Then follow me my dearest Friend

Allow this place your hurts to mend

Its many gifts will soon reveal

The Joy life’s sorrow can conceal

.

I’ll follow you Sir all the way

And by your side I’ll always stay

For I’ve now found the missing part

Of Samwise Gamgee’s broken heart
