Trouble was with me
Since the day I was born.
She was among the hushed whispers
That shouted 'witch!'
Trouble smiled when the letter appeared
The emerald ink shone while
My parents asked 'what is this?'
She was with me on the train
When I met some famous friends
She was with me on those lonely
nights.
She was with me when I cried.
Year after year she watched me help
The 'boy who lived' find his way.
She was there in the face of death
She guided me out safely each time.
She watched me grow as I came to know
The true me I refused to show
Brave, passionate, curious and smart
I would not have know if she had
Not been with me from the start.
