Sense Sonnet - Acher

Surrogate Sadly

In vitro fertilization
Was what my husband and I had.
After the procedure was done,
We learned we would be Mom and Dad.
Two months into the pregnancy,
Worst news the clinic did present.
The embryo put inside me
Was another's by accident.
As hard as it will be to bear,
We choose to let this baby live,
And to be born in due time there,
Then to the parents, we will give.

So when this baby is born, I
Will say hello, then say goodbye.
