Disclaimers: I don't own anything but my pathetic attempts at rhyming and poetry. _;; Why do I even bother?!

A/N: Poem written in Sirius' point of view. Enjoy? ^^;;; Comments and constructive criticisms would be appreciated.

To James

Once there was a charm
Cast from love and loyalty
To keep a friend from harm

My devotion was in vain
Cast a plot to try and keep you safe
But you ended up in pain

No, not only pain, but the demise
Of you and your beloved
And in the dark of the night, he cries

I've failed you once,
I've failed you twice
And I know I've paid the price

I've escaped my hell
I've found him again
And I vow to you I'll keep him well

What has risen
Can't be undone
But the'll be hope for he is the one

He's saved me once
He'll save me twice
He is the hero in everyone's eyes

My ward, my adoptive son
My friend and my salvation
His second war has just begun

Under his power and guidance
The light shall prevail
The darkness shall rise, but to no avail

He's saved us once
He's saved us twice
He'll do so again when the time is right.

Argh. I promise I won't post any more horrible poems until I learn how to write them properly. ^^;;;;; Thanks for reading.
