I am going to use first-person pronouns for this drop of water

[ Start ] Liquid

I start out as a drop of water among other drops of water in the ocean. I am currently a liquid as I can change shape easily but I do not float up.

[ Middle ] Gas

The sun feels very hot. From the heat I turn into a gas, specifically water vapor, and float up into the sky.

[ Middle x 2 ] Solid

In the sky I meet up with a lot of my past friends. We form a cloud, and as we grow heavier (the more the merrier) we start to fall down. It is extremely cold now, so we fall down as a solid, also known as hail or snow.

[ End ] Liquid

We hit the ocean again as we fall from the sky. I'm so happy to be back home as a water drop again!

Have a nice day! - Please note this is very simplified

I hope this is what you are looking for, but if not - comment! I will edit and update my answer accordingly. (ノ^∇^)
