When I Am Gone

A/N: Just a little Lily vignette, with her pondering over what will come after this death of hers. Lily and Harry both belong to J.K., of course.

Who will take care of my son when I am gone?

Where will the flowers go after so long?

I left my garden unattended,

Alongside my gravestone embedded.

I have my husband by my side,

But something is wrong with this light.

I see no babe beside my eyes,

My joy of joys, my life of lives.

I want to scream with all my might,

But that would just be a careless plight.

No one heard me die today,

So no one can send my soul away.

To die a hero's death would seem more great,

But when I died it must have been fate.

I believe it is true about what they say of life.

It's never over until you see the final sight.

And yet one question remains on my lips,

Who will take care of my son when I am gone?

A/N: I almost cried writing this. I was listening to my A Walk To Remember soundtrack, and the song Only Hope by Mandy Moore really struck me. Writing a post-Lily death fic seemed kind of right.so here it was. But anyway, I really seem to be generating a lot lately. Now if I could only get some reviews.
