Do you know what I Am?



Do you know what I Am?

I am puffy gray and white.
I wonder where I can rain today.
I hear the wind blowing.
I see the earth below moving fast.
I do not want to disappear.
I am puffy gray and white.

I pretend to be a heap of cotton balls.
I feel full with water.
I touch the blue sky.
I worry that I may only drizzle.
I cry thunderious booms.
I am puffy gray and white.

I understand I will disappear soon.
I say, "Watch out below. Here comes my load."
I dream of giving the gift of snow down below.
I try not to rain so hard on people below.
I hope I hope I don't cause a flood.
I am puffy gray and white.

Do you know what I Am?
