So hey if you feel like crying a little, listen to this song, read the lyrics, especially the last bit. 

Bilbo’s Song (Sindarin removed)

I sit beside the fire and think
Of all that I have seen,
Of meadow-flowers and butterflies
In summers that have been; 

Of yellow leaves and gossamer
In autumns that there were,
With morning mist and silver sun
And wind upon my hair. 

I sit beside the fire and think
Of how the world will be
When winter comes without a spring
That I shall ever see. 

For still there are so many things
That I have never seen.
In every wood in every spring
There is a different green. 

I sit beside the fire and think
Of people long ago,
And people who will see a world
That I shall never know. 

But all the while I sit and think
Of times there were before,
I listen for returning feet
And voices at the door.
