A/N: hey people!!! Okay, this is my first ever (independent, as in not part of a fic) Harry Potter poem. I have to set up some plot here, okay? This poem was "written" by James the day Voldemort came and obliterated him and Lily. He stuck it into the pocket of her robes at breakfast, and she didn't discover it until she was frantically searching her pockets for her wand, after Voldemort had killed her husband and was coming for her. This poem and quote were the last thing she ever saw, and she died with happy tears running down her cheeks, knowing she would soon be with James….
*What Lily Saw*
*I believe that I would have had the most perfect life if I had been a tear. I'd be born in your eye, live on your cheek, and die on your lips
*If I could tell you how much I love you,
I'd belt it out for the world to hear.
If I could write of my joy to be yours,
I'd write it in the sky.
If I could have you for my own,
I'd die a happy man.
But no man can own you.
No one can tame you.
And that is why I love you.
I cannot have you for my own,
To keep in my pocket, close to my heart.
I cannot profess my love in the clouds,
To show those near and far.
I can tell you how much I love you.
I can hold your hand when you're afraid.
I can rock our son to sleep at night.
I can stand by your side.
I can protect you forever,
Or at least I'll try.
Should anything happen,
To me or to you.
I'll always be with you.
I'll love you forever.
I'll honor our child,
Who bears my name.
I want you to know this,
Now more than ever.
I feel danger approaching.
I fear I may not make it till morning….
So while I do not own you,
And I never could.
I still shall die a happy man.
Knowing you love me.
Since this IS my first H.P. poem, I'd REALLY appreciate some feedback on it. Translation???? REVIEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please, please, pretty please with sugar on top!!!!!!! I'll luv ya forever!!!!!!
