Anna Marie - There's a Feeling in the Air...


A feeling…
Feeling in the air.
The air of our hope.
A hope for happiness.
Happiness that’s enjoyed.
The joy that makes us all smile.
The smile that leads to laughter.
The laughter that leads to memories.
The memories that lead to friendships.
Friendships that make us happy forever.
Forever being a never ending factor of time.
What a lovely and sensational feeling in the air.

Anna Marie, age 16.
