What a beautiful tribute to the Birthday Boys!! I don't think it's silly at all - and thanks for giving us both versions. I would love to use them in a birthday post someday (with credit to you of course) if that would be ok.
And Jan-u-wine's poems just move me to my core. What a tribute to Bilbo and the love that helped to heal Frodo. The image of the brown of the water that covered his parent's heads and broke his heart - and the brown of the earth above Bag End that helped to heal him.
ANd Bilbo's description of Frodo and how he can appreciate the joy of life more because of the sadness he has known - but of course she says it so much better than I ever could.
I can't thank you both enough for this amazing tribute to The Birthday.
