On Mr Frodo and Gethsemane.

What be their task.
Here in the garden.

Know they not then, this burden.
Come to gloat, had they now,
Or only to mourn, this one.

If this be the failure, final.
All will be lost.

How to strengthen him then.
Thus now they confired.
This burden, could carry, they not,
For man
For God.
The blood it flowed, drop by drop.

Once before their had been such a scene.
High on Mount Doom, in Mordor, a task almost too much, for this one to bare.
Mr Frodo, all spent from burden, thus carried.
It had all seamed in vain.
Till came the friend, who walked the path.
Samwise Gamgee

"Come, Mr. Frodo!' he cried. 'I can't carry it for you, but I can carry you."

So do angel's imitate men and hobbits.
This lesson they share.
