(tiny) Hands

these tiny hands

so soft and new

pictured in January 2008

how quickly they grew

here they are now

much bigger, oh yes

they love holding hands

and making a mess

****

these hands love to:

paint

draw

dig in the dirt

throw a ball

hug sister

play with mama's hair

grab mama's jewelry

hold a bow

hold a toy sword

play with dinosaurs, dragons, knights, and any figurine

play in water and splash!

slowly hold up 4 fingers to show how old he'll be soon

love on family

****

I pray these hands

are used

to praise

God-

to serve and love

others,

and I pray

he still loves

to hold mama's hand

for many years to come!
