Children’s laughter fills the afternoon
Adult’s smiles fills the street
In the distance you can hear singing
Across the horizon you can feel the happiness
Surrounding all around is nothing but people enjoying life
Escaping reality
Enjoying time with family and friends
Nothing bad is going to happen
Rain might fall
But that doesn’t stop them
The sun is beating down on them
But that doesn’t stop them
Because
The smell of freshly made cotton candy floats around
The voices of everyone singing in harmony
As the streets clear out
The people stand there anxiously waiting
The music starts
You can see the excitement of everyone’s faces
You can feel the heartbeat of that small baby
Just waiting
For the 3’o clock parade to start
