Tiny Handprints Tiny handprints grow so fast Their awkward groping soon will clasp A ball, a book, a sweetheart's hand A diploma, briefcase, wedding band. Tiny handprints grow so strong It doesn't take them very long To snap a shirt, to paint, to draw To labor hard, to drive a car. Tiny handprints grow to be A person that is quite unique A wonderful mix of so many things With his own feelings, thoughts and dreams. Tiny handprints grow to rely On his parents to bring him up just right His parents pray that when he's grown He'll say their job has been well done. Tiny handprints are ours to love The sweetest gift from God above A miracle that never is surpassed How sad they grow up way to fast. Sometimes you get discouraged Because I am so small And always leave my finger prints On furniture and walls. But everyday I'm growing up And soon I'll be so tall That all those little handprints Will be hard to recall. So here's a special handprint Just so that you can say This is how my fingers looked When I placed them here today.
