WHAT'S NEW
I Sit Beside the Fire and Think
J.R.R. Tolkien
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 know a world
that I shall never know.
But in all the while I sit and think
of times there were before,
I listen for returning feet
and voices at the door.
Reflecting back on friends and family in my life that I have known and loved. How they have influenced me and made my life all the richer for knowing them.
Until we meet again.
