Answer:
Do you know what you can hold without ever touching it?
Three lives have I. Gentle enough to soothe the skin. Light enough to caress the sky. Hard enough to crack rocks.
Large as a mountain, small as a pea, Endlessly swimming in a water-less sea.
I make you weak at the worst of all times. I keep you safe, I keep you fine. I make your hands sweat. And your heart grow cold. I visit the weak, but seldom the bold.
I love to dance and twist and prance. I shake my tail, as away I sail. Wingless I fly into the sky.
If you count 20 houses on your right going to the store and 20 houses on your left coming home, how many houses did you count?
