Always Remember My Handprint & Smile

This same hand first grasps your finger tight.
Then holds your hand to cross the street all right.
This same hand dirties walls and doors,
Then scribbles the birthday card you still adore.

This same hand scales rocks and trees,
Then asks for the car and household keys.
This same hand waves a grown-up good-bye,
Then spreads out wide to give the world a try.

This same smile first leaves your heart aglow,
Then giggles and laughs when ticked on toes.
This same smile howls at duck-duck-goose,
Then beams with joy over a wiggly loose tooth.

This same smile holds a mouthful of braces,
Then changes with teenage moods and faces.
This same smile broadens with youthful bliss,
Then leaves the nest with a farewell kiss.

I'll grow quickly and time will pass,
But this handprint and smile are yours to last.
