Hi, Shirebound! Sorry it's taken so long to reply. Work, then choir, then family stuff.
I was actually hoping you'd see these poems, since I know you have a fondness for portrayals of Frodo (and others) as a child.
Me, I am *sure* they found joy and healing in the West. And that's not being Pollyannish. I just think it's so, that it was the wish of JRRT, even if he wrote "may" and "might have" in his Letters. That was part of his piety, not to explicitly express assurances. But I know in my heart, and even my mind--if I bothered to make a case from his writings--that he believed it would come to pass, that Frodo would pass from the Circles of the World thoroughly ready and prepared after his soujourn in Aman.
