Happy Birthday Mistaya!

My Beautiful baby girl turns fifteen years old today. I have included in this blog, a few photos from her first six months on earth as well as a photo of Mom at nine months pregnant. Also, the following poem I wrote for Mistaya when she was four months old.

Mistaya
 
My baby.
My girl.
Sweet pink cheeks, delicate mouth.
A clear shimmer glistening on your bottom lip.
Waiting to be kissed or to eat.
 
Gently holding your mother.
Filling your tummy with warm, sweet milk.
Love pouring.
 
You sing to me.
Listen to my rhymes.
Our hands clapping,
Echoing your song.
The warm, sweet milk.
 
Holding your plump yet delicate wrists,
your curled toes, chubby bottom.
Intense and bright indigo eyes smile at me,
recognition; your body, your love.
 
Together we are.
Together I am.
I will grow because of you and you will become a woman with me.
Mix Hart, March 23, 1997
9 months pregnant with Mist.
Mom and Mist, minutes after birth.
My happy girl.
Mistaya was born cool.
