The Greatest Sacrifice
Arwen Evenstar gave up her immortality
When she decided in favor of love
Her wish was to be one with the heir of Isildur
Sadly, Elrond her father told her of the fate she had chosen
Aragorn did not tell her to stay on the lands of Middle Earth
Although, it is true that he loved her deeply
With the defeat of he who dwells in Shadow
The true king became the ruler of men
The age of the Elves was passing
Yet Arwen would not leave Middle Earth
with her elven brethren
Clasping the hands of a mortal - a king
but one who would eventually fade into the darkness
Arwen cared so greatly that she would
give up travelling to Elvenhome which
lies across the sundering sea
A land which know not ot age or infirmity
When her kindred left Middle Earth for the Grey Havens
She kept her promise to the King
Arwen Evenstar, daughter of Elrond
Embraced the Doom of Mandos for love of a mortal man
