I come more softly than a bird as lovely as a flower.
I sometimes last from year to year
And sometimes but an hour.
I stop the swiftest railroad train
Or break the stoutest tree.
Yet I'm afraid of fire
And children play with me.
What am I?

I was just going to say snow, actually snow flakes. Darnit, lost again. :(

If only I hadn't left to get a snack.

I'm always a second behind Sneezy, eating his dust. Pftttt, getting it out of my mouth.

But, the raisin toast was worth it. :)

True, that means it's his fault. Hmmm, interesting. :)

Okay, the raisin toast wasn't enough, time to forage for more nibbles. :)
