Miguel Angel

I recognize that picture taken some years ago. 1

The day my son was born

It happen right before dawn

A soft cry announced that my life has changed

With my eyes I looked and stroked his face 5

I kissed his pink cheeks, forehead, tiny palms and hands, tiny toes

So beautiful, so indescribable,

My beautiful boy

His black hair, his smooth skin, his baby smell, his soft cry…

Known and imagined was less meaningful.

My world as I know it began to transform and change

I became a mom, a guardian, a protector,

A new mother with new feelings of love 20

I stopped being Mirna, the daughter, the sister, the friend, the wife, and the teacher…

And I became MOM
