There used to be so many of my fingerprints to see.
On furniture, on walls and things from sticky little me!
But if you stop and think a while, you see I’m growing fast,
Those fingerprints will disappear. You can’t bring back what’s past.
So here’s a small reminder, to keep not wipe away,
Of tiny fingers, how they were, to make you smile someday!
Donna BIrd says
Lovely photo 🙂

TheBoyAndMe says
Aren't they gorgeous? I love that poem, can't take credit for it though!
twopointfourchildren says
time really flies and it doesn't take long before their pudgy baby hands slim out. I think we will do handprints this weekend xx
TheBoyAndMe says
Good plan! I love his tiny fingers.
HELEN says
great shot…was that on a window?
TheBoyAndMe says
Yep, he was trying to get nanny's attention on the porch window. Then he played with the handprints for five minutes so I snapped a few!
Emma says
Brilliant words….. I knew there was a reason I haven't cleaned my windows 🙂
TheBoyAndMe says
Isn't it lovely? Used this on cards when I was nursery nursing and now I have my own, it's very relevant.
Mum2Four says
Brilliant picture!
Love that poem I have a fair few of them in the loft at home with various sized hand prints on them.
HonieBuk says
It is a lovely pic – such a precious keepsake for the memory box.
Fiona Cambouropoulos @coombemill says
Oh I love that poem, I remember crying when it was sent to me from nursery with a painted hand print for a mothers day card with my 1st child!
Lindsey says
That's so cute, and the poem is so true! I love little handprints 🙂 And I remembered to link up on Saturday evening rather than waiting till tomorrow and being too late! Yay! x
Notmyyearoff says
Aww that's very true. Lovely photo of something very precious.
bluebirdsunshine says
What a lovely poem, such true words. Lovely photo too. I'm usually busy wipping fingerprints off things as the poem says, I should try and snap some next time I come across them.

That is so beautiful! Cool photo and lovely words and so true too.

That's so lovely. I've been moaning about the paintwork having finger prints on it all week. Made me look at it differently.

Such an arty photo, yet again, and very moving words too. Great work, captain!
Cara says
Love it. My 2YO sits outside the shower when I get in and demands me to draw in the steam. I'm quite a dab hand at shower door brachiosaurus.
urbanvox says
that actually did leave me with a big smile on the face… 🙂
Marylin says
My mum told me that one when I was still wee, and telling her to clean up my finger prints from the living room door! lol 🙂
Adore it <3
