Summary: some of Aragorn's thought when he is far from home. "No matter where I go, no matter how long I am gone, I will always go back to that place, the place I call my home." Originally, it was for the Teitho entry, "Home is Where the Heart Is," (there was a story to go with this) but the plotbunnies abandoned me, leaving me with this poem. I thought it would be a pity to waste this, and finally decided to post it.
Though I may
Though I may go and leave my family,
To travel the earth,
To see new things,
---
Though I may be gone for many days,
On some mission,
Trekking through the wilderness,
---
Though I may feel alone in the my wanderings,
The nights dark and dreary,
The outlook bleak and dim,
---
I know there is one place I can go,
The one place where I receive healing,
Love,
Care.
It is my home.
---
No matter where I go,
No matter how long I am gone,
I will always go back to that place,
The place I call my home.
------
Though I may see countless wonders,
Witness strange things,
Experience unusual moments,
---
Though I may shun the world and its pettiness,
Longing for something more,
Something deeper, something greater,
---
Though I may feel hated by all,
Scorned by many,
Abandoned by false friends,
---
I know of one place that will always accept me,
No matter whom I am,
No matter what I do,
They will always cherish me,
When I am at home.
---
No matter where I go,
No matter how long I am gone,
I will always go back to that place,
The place I call my home.
The End
