Keep it Secret! Keep it Safe!
Oh we feel the tension of this exhortation
how can such a Little Hobbit
do such a Big Thing?
keep
a Ring of Power
Hopes and Dreams
the Entire Destiny
of the Race of Men
secret
safe
yet it is a tangible thing
a Bit of Gold
easy to
Tuck in an Envelope
Store in an Old Trunk
even Take on a Journey
Fling into a Fiery Furnace
how can you ask me
to keep Our Love
the Joy of our Union
Hidden from the World
how do You expect Me
an Ordinary Woman
to do this?
I have no Fellowship
I have no Gandalf
I have no Sam Gamgee
to carry me up Mount Doom
I only have your sweet kisses
your whispers in my ear
soft, tender, urgent
if my Love for You
Falls into the Wrong Hands
it is
the End of Us
Keep it Secret
Keep it Safe
Wow! Excellent!
