A Handprint to Remember

I came into the living room a few days ago and spotted this hand print. I had to smile. I mentioned it to Dan, he had seen it as well, but didn't remove it. It still remains, I suppose it will until it gets dusted off. I love having the evidence of a child in our home. For many years, we wished for this evidence, and now I will cherish it. Live on little chalk-dust hand print....The culprit: The chalkboard easel - Sam was proud to show me the chalk....

Sometimes you get discouraged

Because I am so small

And always leave my fingerprints

On furniture and walls
But every day I'm growing --

I'll be grown some day

And all those tiny handprints

Will surely fade away
So here's a little handprint

Just so you can recall

Exactly how my fingers looked

When I was very small

To Mama and Daddy

Love, Sam - Age 2
