Mia
Mia is looking at the camera lens
A grin is spreading across her face
Flashing her pearly white teeth
She raised her right hand, as always
To make a gesture of victory
With spread index and ring fingers
Leaning against her fair face
If you look into her eyes
Through her round glasses
You see adorable innocence
Like two stars, twinkling
In the expanse of the night sky
You hold your breath
For fear of disturbing the peace.
As long as the heart beats
Pursuit of good things never ceases
Beauty, joy, and realness
All in the radiance over her face
Her smile is like sugar scattered in air
When you breathe
Sweetness melts in your lips.
