Ode to Harry Potter
Kelley K. Wilson
December 15, 2002

Among the network of words,
A whisper,
From the British shores,
And then a name,
On everyone's lips,
Across the world.

They found your secret,
Your world,
They found you,
And they are entranced.

At first,
You were words on napkins,
From a British café.
Then words in a notebook,
Written with a pen,
Later, words on paper,
Made with computer ink.

We see you grow,
We see you learn,
And sooner or later,
We'll see you die.
But until then,
We see you fight,
We see you love.

Soon your words,
Become pictures
And you're now people,
On a screen.
A movie,
That broke all records.

You are the reason
People live,
You protect them
Day and night,
And someday,
It may cost you
Your life.

But this is your job,
Your destiny,
Your life.

The life of
Harry Potter
