A Message in the Clouds
Hello everyone! It’s Mattie. Today I wanted to share with you something that Amelia has taught me to appreciate. That thing is clouds. It sounds weird, but it’s true.

These words are merely a baring of my heart, the echoes of feelings I’ve had for a while. I don’t know if they make a whole lot of sense, I’m not a poet, and they don’t really go together, but here they are. When darkness falls and silence reigns, I’m…
