My Lily

Today it is Halloween again

I cannot believe so many years have passed away
To me it seems just like yesterday
When I first saw you play
Flying laughing through the air
Your red hair like a veil of fire in your trail

The day we first met, in my memory will always stay
You will forever be my maiden fair
even if we went our separate ways
And fate took you too early away

Only your son remains alive
Secretly, I wish he was mine
But regardless, I will protect him with my life
In his eyes, I see the shadow of your smile

At Hogwarts, the Great Hall is now a party place
Tables full of laughing kids and candy
under the roof candles shining bright
But I cannot celebrate tonight

Because there was a knife
Piercing my soul and mind
when the green light
took your life
and your laughter died

I stand here at Godric's Hollow
To put lilies white on your grave
My heart is full of sorrow
It will never fade
But my sliver doe
I have to prevail

Deep inside
I know
That Death has not the final say
Beyond the veil
we will meet again
