a nice alternative

It’s nice to know they completed their tasks 

Having known them since forever and felt 

Their pain of Childlessness - I’m glad I took 

A moment to share - that’s there’s a need to 

Look beyond the ocean and into a land where 

Little girls abound - so she left her job and he

Loved her - so he stayed at his and got a little 

Girl for her then because one is not enough he 

Got another - he worked, he managed, he changed 

Managed again - now the girls are older, his love 

The same - he would move heaven for her if she 

Wanted - but all that she wanted was a moment 

He could not give her and she could not give him 

The alternative was nice - the girls made them proud 

Still there’s moments when she looks down at her 

Perfect body then sees how he has lost his hair and 

Still has to manage - she sighs: a predisposition of 

A DNA strand long written - had she known at first 

Had she known his love would not be enough - life 

May have meant life from her . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
