These Are My JOTtings...

Worlds to Find

What worlds there are to find, explore, reveal!
How many lives to help, give hope and heal!
The human mind can follow paths to home.
The truth can solve the heart that wants to roam.

To walk about in Middle Earth again
I find that Mr. Tolkien is my friend.
That Bilbo, Frodo are just fat and small
gives hope when see them answer their lone call.

To where I find some wand'ring soul to lead
we'll make us both the journey then to heed.
O, Friend, do you yet have a name to know?
Is there a story that we more may grow?

The world of men, of hobbits, and of elves
with dwarvish friends are books upon our shelves.
The place of wardrobe, lion, witch and youth
'twill always spark our journey t'ward the Truth.

But who is there for me to write their life?
For what to say of glories and of strife?
I wonder where you fully can exist
that readers grasp your life. They can't resist!
