Living My Life

I sit beside the fire and think of all that I have seen, of meadow-flowers and butterflies In summers that have been; Of yellow leaves and gossamer in autumns that there were, with morning mist and silver sun and wind upon my hair. I sit beside the fire and think of how the world will be when winter comes without a spring that I shall ever see. For still there are so many things that I have never seen: in every wood in every spring there is a different green. I sit beside the fire and think of people long ago, and people who will see a world that I shall never know. But all the while I sit and think of times there were before, I listen for returning feet and voices at the door.

-J.R.R. Tolkien, from The Fellowship of the Ring

Brit said...: I'm sure u're all wondering why I put this in here, but I have this thing with Veggie Tales. I'm not joking when I say I could probably sing every word that those adorable little vegetables have ever sang. So my sisters were wanting to hear that song, and I pulled it upon you tube. Then i had the brilliant idea of putting it on my blog, b/c i was singing this song for my parents a couple nights ago! anyway, just thought u'd like an explanation! :); 8:32 PM
