Mia Jones:

Once in A While: A Brief Bio

Mia was born in North Korea,
sadly lost her entire family,
including her beloved grandmother
was adopted by a family from Texas/Ohio
where she would be fed and clothed properly

though kindness is subjective to interpretation
how can one small child lose a country, an entire family,
a whole history, even her name to become Americanized
and not feel a little lonely once and a while for her home?

It’s all one can do not to cry
once in a while for lost things
like a child for a favorite doll
that her grandmother once gave her.
