Epic Tribute
Part Four: Dumbledore
Harry:
A mystery
That's how I always knew you
Or did I know you at all?
Like I always wanted to
Your blue eyes had a twinkle
That I could never discern
You had a deep respect
I felt I could never earn
I always trusted you, throughout the course of my life
Though only for six years
And now I have confusion
To wipe away my tears
Did you really care?
Did I mean a thing to you?
Or was I just a pawn?
Someone you never really knew?
Your plans made no sense
Your words made me stare
I always had respect
And you always seemed to care
But now that you are gone
My heart jumps out to yours
Were you really what you seemed
Something less or something more?
Albus Dumbledore, I always felt
You were a father figure to me
Just tell me what I need to know
Set my aching mind free
You are gone, and there was so much to know
So many words to be spoken
The mystery of your past might have been revealed
And my trust for you woken
But, alas, you are gone
As are your words of old
"Nitwit, oddman, blubber, tweak"
As your legacy unfolds
I'll miss you, of that there is no doubt
Everybody will
Hagrid is on the verge of dying
And I am weeping still
Ron doesn't believe it's true
Hermione, she is in shock
Ginny says the world's not safe
Hagrid will not talk
Murdered you were
And it pained me to see
You fall to the ground
Lifeless, forever to be
But Snape was only doing your bidding
He knew it was for the greater good
Still, it was unfair to see
You leave me when you never should
Albus Dumbledore, you brave old man
What secrets lie hidden even now?
Will we ever know the full extent
Of what your life was really about?
And so we all say good-bye
As you are lowered into the ground
Dark secrets and magic buried alongside you
Your past secret, safe, and sound
