I miss you when we're not together
I'm growing up so fast
See how big I've gotten
Since you saw me last?
As I grow, I'll change a lot,
The years will fly right by.
You'll wonder how I grew so quick
When and where and why?
So look upon this handprint (these handprints)
That's hanging on your wall.
And memories will come back of me,
When I was very small.
.................................................. .......................................

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.
.................................................. ..........................................

Children have a certain way
of growing bigger every day,
But these little hands
and this special smile
will stay in our
hearts a long, long while

My dirty little handprint
I've left on every wall
And on the drawers and tabletops
I've really marked them all
But here is one that won't rub off
I'm giving it to you
Because I am so thankful
For a (mother/father/gran) just like you!
.................................................. ...................................

This is my hand.
My hand will do
A 1000 loving things with you
And you will remember
When I am tall...
That once my hand
Was just this small
.................................................. ...................................

Here is my hand
So tiny, so small
to hang somewhere
upon your wall
.................................................. ................................

This is the hand
You used to hold
When I was only
__ years old.



Hope these help
