I read these words posted by Jeremy Ullrsson about 1/2 hour ago as I perused his profile as a new FB friend.

They are from the script of a Tolkien fan movie "Born of Hope" set in the time before the "Lord of the Rings," telling the tale of Arathorn, father of Aragorn.

I have given them the working title of "We the Faithful" because as I read them a tune was demanded.

We came from the water,

It runs through our ancient days,

down the long years to this moment

coursing through our lives

like the bloodline of Kings

A swiftly flowing stream

of memory and sorrow

One drop of water

of blood

and then another

can become a ripple,

a river,

a rising torrent

unstoppable

which in time breaks down all resistance

to flow free once again

on the journey to it's destiny

The remnant of the faithful
