One Starry Night
One starry night
A sound was heard
In a village far from here
A cry was heard, but other
Things were heard by silent stars
A knock, and running footsteps
Unheard by most
And then above those things
A laugh
As chilling as the night
And following
A mother's cry
Calling for salvation
She never thought of her
Own life
Only of her child's
Lives were taken that dark night
But others
Were saved
That mothers cry
Has taught the world
More than all the scholars
It taught us that
We should guard our most
Precious treasures
Of course
You'll think
"Did the mother live?"
My answer
Is no
But in her child
She will live forever
Author's Note: I wrote this awhile ago, thinking about Lily Potter dying to save Harry's life. Altough, it can be used in a lot of situations. Well, hope you enjoyed it, and please review!
