Handprints

Sometimes you get discouraged
Because I am so small.
And always leave my fingerprints
On furniture and walls.
But every day I'm growing up
And soon I'll be so tall.
That all those little hand prints
Will be so hard to recall.
So here's a special hand print
Just so that you can say
This is how my fingers looked
When I placed them here today.

Handprints

You always clean the fingerprints
I leave upon the wall.
I seem to make a mess of things
Because I am so small.

The years willl pass so quickly
I'll soon be grown like you.
And all my little fingerprints
Will surely fade from view.

So here's a special handprint
And a picture of me, too.
So you'll recall the very day
I made this just for you!

Handprints On The Wall

One day as I was picking
the toys up off the floor,
I noticed a small hand print
on the wall beside the door.

I knew that it was something
that I'd seen most every day,
but this time when I saw it there
I wanted to stay.

Then tears welled up inside my eyes,
I knew it wouldn't last,
for every mother knows,
her children grow up way too fast.

Just then I put my chores aside
and held my children tight.
I sang to them sweet lullabies
and rocked into the night.

sometimes we take for granted
all those things that seem so small.
Like one of God's great treasures ....
a small handprint on the wall.
