A voice said, Look me in the stars,
And tell me truly, men of earth,
If all the soul-and-body scars,
Were not too much to pay for birth - Robert Frost
Story Notes:
This story is written from Lily's POV in the 'afterlife' as she watches over Harry's life and attempts to answer the question that haunts her. It's loosely inspired by one interpretation of the wonderful poem by Robert Frost.
I do not own any of the characters - they belong to the unbelievably talented JKR, I'm just playing with them.
