Their lives up until now had been relatively
Free from drama but when her daughter
Suffered yet another miscarriage - and all
Sources studied indicated an inability
To carry a child to term, never mind to a successful
Delivery - she knew as sure as day follows night
It was inherent to her; she would lend a hand
Well - more than a hand actually - a womb
Positively singing with drives maternal
She offered herself as a surrogate - trying
To play down the gesture as just something
Mothers do for their daughters, knowing
There was nothing in their history previous
To this that would even come close ...
After all, there was really no limit to her love.
