Entry #1 Celefinniel of TORN

Rivendell is far and free
Walking there is good for me
It's showing me what I can be
Far and free will know and see!

Entry #2 Wizard Dodo

The Road is hard
Our hearts may quell
But we shall march
To Rivendell.

Entry #3 Valkyrie of WWEC

I’m a shieldmaid can’t you see
Naught will get the best of me.
Boldly stepping out to see
Where this trek is taking me.
Sound off, (sound off)
One two (one two)
One two three four one two
THREE FOUR

When I started on this trek,
Thought it fun and what the heck.
I could walk four hundred miles
And arrive with grace and style.
Sound off, (sound off)
One two (one two)
One two three four one two
THREE FOUR

Though the road be wide and long
I will walk it filled with song.
Singing helps to pass the time
And it doesn’t have to rhyme.
Sound off, (sound off)
One two (one two)
One two three four one two
THREE FOUR

Gaining miles and losing pounds
Is as easy as it sounds.
Every step uplifts my soul
As I near my final goal.
Sound off, (sound off)
One two (one two)
One two three four one two
THREE FOUR

Sometimes struggle, sometimes pain,
Sometimes sunshine, sometimes rain.
At long last I’ll know all’s well
When I get to Rivendell.
Sound off, (sound off)
One two (one two)
One two three four one two
THREE FOUR

Though the trail I’ve traveled ends,
I’ve met sisters and made friends.
This has been more then a trip
It’s a unique fellowship.
Sound off, (sound off)
One two (one two)
One two three four one two
THREE FOUR

Yes, I’m a shieldmaid can’t you see
Nothing got the best of me.
Boldly I stepped out, now see
Where this trek has taken me.
Sound off, (sound off)
One two (one two)
One two three four one two
THREE FOUR
