Helping One Another

Author Unknown

"Help one another," the snowflake said
As it nestled down in its fleecy bed
"One of us would not be felt
One of us would quickly melt
But I will help you and you help me
And then what a big white drift we will be."

"Help one another," the maple spray
Said to its fellow leaf one day
"The wind would wither me here alone
And I should be gone ere the day is done
But I will help you, and you help me
And then what a splendid shade there will be."

"Help one another," the dewdrop cried
Seeing another drop close by its side
"The warm summer breeze would drive me away
And I should be gone ere the close of day
But I will help you and you help me,
And we'll make a brook and run to the sea.
