Share Your Gold

Why waste this opportunity
to share your gold?

Maybe you’ve been too busy
saving your gold for a rainy day.

Maybe you’re blissfully unaware
of the gold that’s yours to give.

And maybe, just maybe,
you believe all gold must be golden.

Now that you know otherwise,
it’s time to give it all away.
So empty your pockets,
and share your gold with the world!

(That which only you can give
may be in short supply.)


All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.
J.R.R. Tolkien (The Fellowship of the Ring)
