My Precious (co-written with Ken)

My heart belongs to the Gladden Fields
Along the southern Vales of the Anduin
I am a proud member of the Stoors.
In my home, all wounds can heal
Both outwardly and within
Created by the mighty Eru.
-
We are the only Hobbits that can grow a beard
We do not shy away from even big folk
We use boats, we fish, and we can swim!
We are always stuffed and full of cheer
We love to party and tell jokes
Our fertile lands cost more than a hand and limb!
-
Give me some Sheppard’s pie and a pint of ale
And I will be the happiest lad you will ever meet!
With a full belly, I will take a nap.
Every morning, I always check my mail
No one sees me because I am a great sneak!
I am mischievous and set many traps.
-
My real name is Trahald
I have a keen interest in roots and beginnings
I like to swim in the river and burrow under tree roots.
Yet because of my hobbies, they call me Sméagol
I am fiercely competitive, and I enjoy winning
If I find a blooming bush, I eat all the fruits.
-
On my birthday, my cousin and I went fishing
Out of the water, we brought something onto the boat
Stupid Déagol found a ring which made me jealous.
Once I saw it, I felt a part of me was missing
I deserve to have it, not the stupid goat!
It’s only mine; my precious.


I am eyes in the darkness
All that the world has created
Cast aside and forgotten
My greed is our ally
Making us unsated
-
Why must you always show weakness and let them in
They think that our mere existence is nothing but sin
They lie to us and take whatever they can
I have nothing but hate and distrust
For any of them
-
Steps on our hands and treats us like a mere dog
This dog wants nothing more than to gnaw in their bones
We needs no one only the two of us
While the world sees us as sad and all alone
A tasty treat they will be but only if Dead
-
And our hands will stained with their essence of crimson red
Our tool helps us to creep unseen in the dark
That’s when our vicious teeth will leave their mark
You’ve created me in the darkness in your mind
For what they’ve done to us I can’t be nothing but unkind
-
I am our strength
And that strength keeps us on n check
I am the strength that squeezed the air from Deagols neck
Nothing will ever be able to erase
That pain
I clear my throat of your weakness
In the sound of our new name
Gollum!!
