I Wont be There
[A Letter From Sirius]
To my dear Harry,
Now I'm gone, I do miss you so
And I know that you miss me
I wont be there to watch you grow
I wont be there for you too see
I wont be there to see your face
I wont be by your side
In silent grace
No more in me can you confide
As my heart has stopped its pace
I wont be there for your first kiss
Or when your friends aren't there
In moments of bliss
Or of despair
No matter how much for it you wish
I wont be there when you cry
Or when you are alone
When you lose hope and sigh
When out of anguish you moan
When the world passes you by
For your greatest achievement
I wont be there full of pride
From your fears
I cannot help you hide
This is my lament
I was foolish
I was brave
But though you wish
I could be saved
And I am the one you will miss
It is only fair
I have played my part
But because you care
In your heart
I will be there.
