Little Hands

Little hands that reach to touch you.
Little arms that hold you tight .
Little head upon the pillow.
As he lays dreaming every night.

Little eyes that look for knowledge.
And a smile that lights the room.
Playing with his little cars.
As he pushes they go zoom.

He grows an inch a month now.
But he isn't very tall.
We keep track of all the inches.
With a mark upon the wall.

He walks with me beside him.
His steps are really slow.
Compared to mine their tiny.
In the dust the prints they show.

At two years old . A genius.
For the child is really smart.
No prejudice will you find here.
Fro a grandmas loving heart.

I've really been enjoying your poem and the emotions and imagery were so vivid that i could easily picture them as beautiful illustration. I'm a commission-based manga/webtoon artist,and I’d love to discuss the possibility of bringing this poem to life if you're ever interested.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
