Author's Note: After writing "Don't Forget", I thought that ole Dumbly needed some love. Alas, here be the result. I hope your eyes don't burn. My apologies if they do. I have a lovely eye doctor down here...I'm sure he'd love to help.
An Ode to Our Heroes
The wise old man,
He always knew
What to do
When you're feeling blue.
He was intelligent
And very clever.
He always seemed
To know better.
But yet, regretfully,
And it seemed so,
He seemed to make
More mistakes
Than any other.
Perhaps it was that,
That caused him to fade.
Perhaps he would have survived
Had he come out of the shade.
Had he not tried to find
Some good in all,
He'd still be here,
He'd still recall.
But no one could say
He'd done any wrong,
For he had been helpful
His full life-long.
People had said
He was too soft at heart.
Those loyal to him
Knew he'd done his part.
Played his role well,
Helped others along,
Stopped them from making
The choices that were wrong.
So here's a final monument-
Not only to him-
But to all the heroes
Who always will win.
I cried when Dumbledore died!
