Sometimes you get discouraged, Because I am so small<\/span><\/p>\n

And always leave my fingerprints, on furniture and walls.<\/span><\/p>\n

But every day I’m growing -I’ll be grown some day<\/span><\/p>\n

And all those tiny handprints will surely fade away.<\/span><\/p>\n

My dirty little handprint, I’ve left on every wall<\/span><\/p>\n

And on the drawers and tabletops, I’ve really marked them all<\/span><\/p>\n

But here is one that won’t rub off; I’m giving it to you<\/span><\/p>\n

Because I am so thankful, for a mother just like you!<\/span><\/p>\n

These little hands can wave Hello, Or put smudges on the wall<\/span><\/p>\n

They can fold in prayer, throw a kiss, or reach up so very tall<\/span><\/p>\n

They’ll clasp your hand for a little stroll, or shape a ball from clay<\/span><\/p>\n

But most of all, they’ll stay with you, When I’m grown up and far away<\/span><\/p>\n

Tiny handprints grow so fast, Their awkward groping soon will clasp<\/span><\/p>\n

A ball, a book a sweetheart’s hand, a diploma, briefcase, a wedding band<\/span><\/p>\n

Tiny handprints grow so strong; it doesn’t take them very long<\/span><\/p>\n

To snap a shirt, to paint, to draw, to work hard, to drive a car<\/span><\/p>\n

Tiny handprints grow to be, a person that is quite unique<\/span><\/p>\n

A wonderful mix of so many things, with his own feelings, thought and dreams<\/span><\/p>\n

Tiny handprints grow to rely, on his parents to bring him up just right<\/span><\/p>\n

His parents pray that when he’s grown, He’ll say their job has been well done<\/span><\/p>\n

Tiny handprints are ours to love, the sweetest gift from God above<\/span><\/p>\n

A miracle that never is surpassed, how sad they grow up way too fast.<\/span><\/p>\n

Here is a handprint craft that can help you showcase your child\u2019s handprints and one of the beautiful poems listed above.<\/p>\n

Handprint Plaque-<\/strong>You can make a mold of the child\u2019s handprint in Plaster of Paris and then write one of these poems on the other side, when it is completely dry.<\/p>\n
