Mia's Portfolio

Where I’m from

I am from 1000 piece puzzles

to word searches with no end

From pots and pans

and fantasy books that transport one to an imaginary world

I am from the sunny beaches of Cape May

whose waves crash and glide over the glistening sand

I am from the cherry blossoms to the daffodils that flourish in spring

I’m from homemade meatballs and high top converse

From My parents, Emi, Alli, and Milo

I’m from the made up songs to the coaching in sports

I’m from the candy stand at Market

From our balcony view in Venice to fright while walking

the Path of the Gods

I am from endless laughter and

the wind in my hair while riding my bike

though I am from a life of non perfection

the small things matter the most

and memories beyond the hard times will last forever
