Five fingers in all,
Outside they are short,
But the middle is tall.

You can find them on the wall,
They will make a big mess,
For something so small.
One day I will grow,
And leave them no more,
My handprints will be missed,
Of that, I am sure.
So here is one now,
That you can’t wipe away,
My present to you,
This Mother’s Day.

Dirt and cookie fingerprints
are not too hard to find,

Where I go, they’re left behind!
But soon I’ll learn to wash my hands,
And tuck them by my side,
The walls and drawers clean once more,
No grubby marks to hide.
So here I leave my fingerprints,
Each and every one,
Painted as a reminder,
Of dirt and cookies, and fun!

You filled my days with rainbow lights,
Fairytales and sweet dream nights,
A kiss to wipe away my tears,
Gingerbread to ease my fears.
You gave the gift of life to me
And then in love, you set me free.
I thank you for your tender care,
For deep warm hugs and being there.
I hope that when you think of me
A part of you
You’ll always see it.
