Hands and Feet...

My little hands play patty-cake

They peek-a-boo and wave.....

They catch me when I learn to walk,

And splash me as I bathe.

They hold your fingers tightly

And touch your heart so deep...

My little hands reach out to you

For hugs before I sleep.....

My little hands are tiny now

But yours will serve and guide me.

And when I'm grown I'll reach out

And know you're right beside me.

Two little feet, ten little toes,

Leave their impressions today.

Soon they will be running and jumping at play.

Two little feet, too little time,

Before they are

Kicking a rock, wading a puddle
Or walking to school.

Two little feet, One little child,

Will soon go their own way,

But footprints in my mind recall,

They stood here yesterday.
