Little Fingers

This was a short poem I wrote to be displayed at my local children's center.

Mummy I know you get discouraged,

Because I am so small,

And always leave my fingerprints on furniture and walls.

You wish that I knew better,

It drives you round the bend,

Cleaning up my mess,

It seems there is no end!

 

But listen to me mummy,

The words I speak today,

Because one day those fingerprints will surely fade away.

 

For if you watch me closely,

As I laugh and play,

You’ll notice I am growing bigger each and every day.

 

And one day in the future,

When I am fully grown,

You’ll realise that my fingerprints made your house a home

 

So here’s a reminder mummy

To help you to recall.

Exactly how my fingers looked when I was oh so small.
