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. -The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers


help them move,
help them feel,
be the wind.

keep them warm,
help them see,
be the sun.

catch the sun,
light the dark,
be the moon.

be the wind, make them feel.
be the sun, make them see.
be the moon, light the dark.
be the truth, set them free.


The author's comments:
I was in a class doing nothing, and I started think about what to be. Then I thought of the importance of nature, and began to take inspiration from the earth on what to be. Nature impacts us, and I believe we should impact others. Help them to feel, see, do the same for others, and by this, we set each other free.
