Use Well the Days

'Round the corner there may wait a new road or a secret gate

and though I have passed them by, a day will come.

I will take the hidden paths that run west of the moon and east of the sun.

I'm glad that you were here with me, here at the end of all things.

Night too shall be beautiful and blessed and its fear will pass.

I must leave, must cross this sea.
The love you gave is all I take with me.
Use well the days.
Use well the days.
Turn your face to the green world.
Use well the days.
--J.R.R. Tolkien
