THE LINES OF LOVE
The lines of love
have often themed
the words of humankind;
you can find them
in the Bible where they
detail love divine;
They run through
epic tales of old,
of fact, and lies, and lore;
through ancient song
and sonnet, enshrined
forever more;
As long as written word
has been transcribed
by ink and pen;
the lines of love
have been a theme
found time and time again;
The lines of love
are fickle, often cruel,
and sometimes blind;
in the tale of Harry Potter,
the lines of love
are seldom kind;
Few have known
the grief and pain
this boy was made to feel;
although Harry was
a wizard, some things
magic cannot heal;
Born to loving parents,
who loved him
to their grave;
they gave their lives,
through lines of love,
their tiny son to save;
For this boy
was in danger,
long before his birth;
he was wanted by
the most evil wizard
to step foot on the Earth;
Lord Voldemort,
whose name put
fear in every wizard heart;
he killed for pleasure,
and for spite, and
to rip his soul apart;
Voldemort knew Harry
must be killed,
as the prophecy foretold,
for neither can live
while the other survives,
if Harry lived to be old.
So Voldemort went,
with magic dark,
filled with rage and hate;
he did not know
what lay ahead,
the horrors of his fate;
The lines of love,
he found that night,
had power that he knew not;
they marked the
beginning of his end,
and foiled his evil plot;
For as he killed
Harry’s mother,
who need not have died;
a magical protection
was sealed that night,
with Harry safe inside;
While Voldemort had powers,
like the world
had never known;
they were no match
for the lines of love,
when purest love was shown;
As the mother laid
down her life,
out of love for her son;
Voldemort’s story
ended, just as
Harry’s was begun;
Voldemort tried to
kill Harry, but his
efforts were no good;
instead he marked him
as his equal, as the
prophet said he would;
The lines of love
displayed that night,
that conquered evil’s ploy;
Forever changed the life
of the Potter’s
little boy;
His story was known
both far and near,
all wizard’s knew his name;
the boy who lived,
because he was loved,
and did love, just the same;
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Sixteen years have passed
since Harry’s life
was forever changed;
yet each day still
brings new helpings
of misery, grief, and pain;
Voldemort came back,
just as Harry
knew he would;
the time will come
when evil must
face the wrath of good;
The lines of love
still ring true,
within Harry’s heart today;
his love will help
protect him
within the looming fray;
Now the battle
is upon him,
time to fight or die;
the lines of love
will help him to
keep his head up high;
The magic of the darkness
is no match
for the light;
the lines of love
have guided Harry
safely through the fight;
The hardships he has faced,
he now understands
at last;
through the fire,
he was tested, so this
last test he could pass.
He’s been through hell
to get here, yet
his love remains in place;
and he won’t forget
those who died to
help him along the way.
Destiny has led him
up this hill, and love
has lead him down;
but now’s the time
when he must lay his
martyrs in the ground;
This will be the moment
when the tears will fall
like rain;
when he must say
farewell to those
that were slain;
As he wiped a tear away,
he knew it was
worth the fight;
For his friends had given
their lives for that they
knew was right;
The race is run, the
sacrifice made,
the prize is now in sight;
the wizarding world,
can, at long last,
sleep in peace tonight;
The end does justify
the means, and Harry
never felt such pride;
for those he loved
the most had died,
but did so at his side;
The lines of love
have woven thus,
a story with no end;
for a boy who was
loved and lived,
and loved and lived again.
