Goodbye Harry...

A bittersweet ending to one of the best series i have ever devoted myself to follow, may  it be the books or the movies, it has become a part of my life...

The first time i met harry, ron and hermione december 2001, when i first saw the fillm with my friends, i have been an avid reader but i didnt start on harry potter until i saw the film and i was hooked...

I cried, I laugh, I oggled and oozed with wonder as i read the books that became longer and heavier as the series and story progress, Harry potter took me back to my love of adventure and magic,, it made me love childrens book and junior fiction books that led me into reading the twilight series and all the other junior book series i am reading now (i was more into adult fiction such as Vampire chronicles and the like). 

Aside from Harry Potter and the sorcerers stone (i watched the film first though), the second upto the seventh film as a bit of a disappiontment as i am a hard-ass fan of the book, though they have improve on the effects and acting,  the emotions i get from the book doesnt really amount to what the movies triggers, i could say i watch the films only to watch how they adapted the books.,, then came The deathly Hallows 2...

I can say that The Deathly Hallows Part two is the best adaptation of the harry potter series i have ever watched... The same emotion and the same intense sense of lost, love, friendship and sacrifices i have read in the book was well expressed and well presented in this last installment of the movie... or maybe im in a bit of an emotional episode as of the moment, never in the series i have felt connected in same ways to it...

From the opening of the movie which opened where it left on the first part up to the last minute its action pack emotional journey,, and yes i cried too... Saying goodbye is never an easy things,, and this series is part of the goodbyes i have to encounter this year...

A Prayer

at the end of the day,
when im all alone, 
i try and talk to you, 
thanking you for all my blessings
telling you what i've been through..
i whisper what my heart desires
or the things thats troubling my mind, 
i give grace
and i give time
even in the darknest
i feel your embrace
the presence that i so crave
the love that you promised if i behave..
roads are rough
and times are tough
my will may shake
balls may drop
with you by my side
i will not crumble
with every obstacle
ill be willing and able
with your guidance
i will not stray
from the path ahead
that for me you've laid
for every torn
for every pain
even if it'll be too much strain
i give you my mind 
my heart
my soul
from the deepest
part of my heart
this, for You, 
down on my kness,
i pray.
