A few kind words in parting - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

You get once last chance to be on stage, and then...whoof! I thought that, when my last bit of time came before being boxed up, I'd take the opportunity to share my love of Tolkien's words with my family and friends. Not being particular religious, instead of having someone else spout other things, I want to fill up those closing moments with something beautiful, something hopeful, something personal.

I have some ideas, but before I share them, I just wanted to read your thoughts: If you were to have some part of Tolkien's works read at your funeral, what would it be?
