You gave me such beautiful roses But now the curtain closes I guess you're not the one As now our time is done Away from me you've gone So now it's time that...

Frodo: I can&#039;t do this, Sam.<br /> Sam: I know. It&#039;s all wrong. By rights we shouldn&#039;t even be here. But we are. It&#039;s like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn&#039;t want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it&#039;s only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn&#039;t. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something.<br /> Frodo: What are we holding onto, Sam?<br /> Sam: That there&#039;s some good in this world, Mr. Frodo... and it&#039;s worth fighting for.

Favorite Quote:
If I had a flower for every time I thought of you, I could walk in my garden forever.&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> &quot;Love, I find, is like singing. Everybody can do enough to satisfy themselves, though it may not impress the neighbors as being very much.&quot;

There is something you must always remember. You are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think.
