tiny little hands

Sometimes it is so easy to get upset
When those tiny little hands make such big messes,
And those tiny little noses are constantly dirty,
And those tiny mouths are forever getting louder.

But one day not too far from now
Those not so tiny hands will go into kindergarten,
And those not so tiny noses will be runny from a broken heart,
And those not so tiny mouths will be calling from far away.

Instead of getting frustrated as mommas often do
Help those hands make the messes,
Wipe the noses and kiss their cheeks while you are at it,
And help those tiny mouths to find their own voices.

Take a picture of these moments,
Spend these times together not in timeout,
Cherish every second because all too soon
You will wish for their return!


Love you guys- sorry for the depth of the subject but my fingers just started typing, and I hope someone out there needs this as much as I did when I wrote it.
