A Poem by Carolyn T. written July 29, 2008
For Severus
You never understood me
And I couldn't fathom you.
Our lives were spent in turmoil
Never knowing what was true.
If you'd have shown concern,
I'd have given you respect.
But we had one thing in common
That I never did suspect.
While worlds apart, upon our hearts
One name was written there.
Lily... mother, sweetheart;
Her loss seemed so unfair.
All my life I mourned her
My heart did crave her so.
But yours was hurting also
And that I did not know.
And when your life was ebbing
As you began to fade away,
You gave the gift that saved me
And all Wizardom that day.
From where you are now,
I am sure That you already know
You are forgiven, be at rest
All rancor is let go.
Your memory has been preserved
In Hogwarts hallowed halls
And generations yet to come
Will stand when duty calls.
For it is your legacy
And that of Dumbledore
That good sustains and will remain
Triumphant evermore.
~end
