The love of James Potter

I see only her...
She laughs with her friends
She smiles at strangers
Her eyes sparkling...
Why will she not smile at me?
Why will she not laugh?
Others laugh...
I try for her alone
I want for her laugh
I need her smile
But she will not give them to me
I hope, one day...
She will see
She will want my laugh
Need my smile
And I will give them freely
For I see only her...

that was really beautiful especially because we know he got his wish.

^ awe agreed. a lovely job on the poem :tu:

The love of James Potter-Our Child

The wind blows hard against the iron gate
I can feel the evil...
Lurking
Waiting
My child giggles, unaware
Delighted at the sparks flowing out of her wand
She looks at me
Her eyes register comprehension
At the same time mine do
The evil is here
At our gate
On our walk
At our door
Not long now....
I can't withstand te pain
My love is overwhelming
Only her safety registers in my heart
RUN!
And she runs, taking our love
Our child
My two greatest loves leave
I turn to face the evil
And nothing
I realize to late, I am gone
But I do not fear for me
I fear for her, and our child
All too soon
My fears are answered
My angel, my wife
Comes to me
And we rejoice in our togetherness
We mourn our loss
But we are happy
Our love lives on
In him
