A is for Albus

by lemke

As all great heroes of the past slowly fade from mind's eye, we need sometimes to be reminded again. A short poem about our eternal headmaster, Albus Dumbledore.

A... Is for auburn, once the colour of your hair

L... Is for your love, which battled despair

B... Is for blessed, that Hogwarts had you when in strife

U... Is for unknown, we don't know much of your life

S... Is for sorry, that you had to go

D... Is for dashing, you always loved to make a good show

U... Is for understanding, that there's a choice to be made

M... Is for us mourning the price that you paid

B... Is for Brian, which was one of your names

L... Is for laughter, and your enthusiasm for games

E... Is for everyone you left behind

D... Is for death, for yours did remind

O... Is for original, for you had no twin for flair

R... Is for Riddle, who from evil you could not spare

E... Is for ending, which I hope will be kind, to the good, to the misguided, and the rest of wizard kind.
