LIKE A BLANKET, I COVER YOU

Down from the clouds, upon you, I fall,

Light and fluffy but cold I am called.

To the rain I am related, to start out soft

As the earth gets warmer then am I lost.

Like a blanket, I cover you, not so warm you

Will know,

White as a marshmallow, not as heavy It is told.

Throw me you can, or watch as I come down,

Not much noise do I make as I touch the ground.

I’ll go away for a while you see,

But come back I will, for I’m always to be.
