Little Hands

Little hands, folded, praying suppertime grace,

Little hands, laughing, caressing my face

Little hands, gluing, covered in paste

Little hands, sticky, fixing a vase

Little hands, strumming, trying to play bass

Little hands, twirling, giving butterfly chase

Little hands, toddling, trying to keep pace

Little hands, trusting, in big hands encased

Little hands, running, winning a race

Little hands, dancing, dressed up in lace

Little hands, dreaming, in a far-away place

Little hands, loving, time can not erase

Little hands, little hands, I adore you, my ace

Little hands, oh little hands, you’re my heart’s sweet embrace
