Dear Sam

Dear Sam Gamgee,          
            I’ve always been a fan of little people (I, myself am short). However, you are by far my favorite hobbit.
            Word of your journey reached me through our friend Tolkien and the exciting tale is one I cannot forget. I admire the fact that what you lack in size, you make up for in loyalty and courage. Staying by Frodo’s side when he needed you the most was admirable and I assure you that both he and I are grateful for your friendship.
            I only wish that I could come visit you myself. I would love to hear your side of the unexpected adventure, especially the part about seeing fairies. I always knew your dream would one day come true! However, Bywater is much too far for my feet to take me at this point in time. Thus, the best I can do is write you this letter.
            Give my blessings to Rose and little Elanor, and stay healthy and happy yourself.
From one traveler to another,
-Amy

Ocean Blues

If I could drink the ocean
And paint the whole world blue
Swimming every day away
I'd still miss you

If I could sail the globe
And always feel free
Floating past my worries
I wouldn't be happy

All the water on the planet
Would never be enough
To drown my hope of being
Just the two of us

So if I could drink the ocean
And paint the whole world blue
I would still be nothing
If I didn't have you
