To the legends and myths of old <br />The veterans of the hazy road. <br />Sparkling images of heroes and knights <br />Victors of those glorious fights <br />Which proclamied you through all of time <br />that let you, for us, forever shine. <br />This poem, this song, is for you <br />For what you did and what you do <br />For giving us hope and strength <br />From our dark oppresion and grief. <br />How we lament for one of you <br />to give us our blessed relief.<br /><br />cameron bird<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/memoir-to-c-s-lewis-and-j-r-r-tolkein-by-c-bird/
