    Little Hands

    little hands in the kitchen
    helping mama cook
    tiny little hands
    holding up her book
    little hands in preschool
    all painted from her art
    little hands around my pinkie
    but attached to my heart
    little hands that make those turkies
    on Thanksgiving Day
    little hands when we're lost
    that help to point the way
    little hands that get excited 
    if there's something that she knows
    little hands that sometimes
    go up her little nose
    little hands that hold her dollies
    when she's giving them their milk
    little hands that are so soft
    they feel just like silk
    those dirty little hands
    and those handprints that linger 
    they sure are awfully little hands
    to have me wrapped around her finger

    Beautiful..........enjoy those little hands because before you know it their grown. You've captured such a precious "little" feature, some take for granted and put it into words that every parent should charish about their children. Love it!!

    what a wonderful daddy you must be....those little hands indeed..and I loved the line about "up the nose"...so true! our kids sometimes do the grossest stuff, and still they are the most precious part of life.

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
