Before you meet them

It
stems
from
conception
and
culminates
into
a
weight
 to
 carry
 until
 it
 yields.
 It
 is
 a
burdensome,
 unsettling,
 exercise
 of
 hope.
Just
 like
 pregnancy,
 an
 aspiration
 comes
with
 unexplainable
 twists
 and
 turns,
weeping
 and
 expectancy,
 and
 requires
tenacity.
