Intro
Poppy sees a cloud pup hide.
Puff feels scared behind the hill.
Verse 1
Far-off thunder gives a roll.
Puff curls in a tiny ball.
Poppy says, "It's far away.
On this porch we'll safely stay."
Chorus
Breathe in slow and breathe out light,
Like warm soup we cool just right.
Name the sound and count to three.
Waiting friends help fear grow small.
Verse 2
Poppy breathes; Puff copies too.
Round and fluffy, back he grew.
After thunder, one, two, three.
Each low sound fades quietly.
Chorus
Breathe in slow and breathe out light,
Like warm soup we cool just right.
Name the sound and count to three.
Waiting friends help fear grow small.
Bridge
Gentle rain begins to fall.
Poppy hums beside the wall.
Puff makes one small roof of cloud.
They stay dry beneath it now.
Final Chorus
Thunder stops and sunlight glows.
Rainbow curls around Puff's tail.
Puff thanks Poppy for her care.
Fear felt smaller with her there.
Outro
Breathe and listen, wait it through.
Safe, calm friends can help us too.
