Little hand prints on the window Memories captured in time Even if I wanted to wipe them away, How could I? The imprint is implanted now A moment forever frozen In the chambers of my heart A treasured token If only I could relive Each and every day That has passed swifter than the last Until fading faintly away That is impossible wishing And impervious to logic Surpassing all known laws of nature Beyond even Merlin’s magic So instead I will accept change As she will most surely grow And cherish as long as I can Little hand prints on the window |

I would have cherished them more had I known how quickly they would be gone.... Beautiful, touching poem! Denise |

I've got a 2 year old daughter. I'm trying to hold onto all the memories. |

This is precious and so well expressed. I read it aloud and my twelve year old sighed, "Cool." I would have to agree!  |

The years fly by so quickly, I really need to slow down a bit and enjoy it while I have it. Thanks for reminding me!!! |

I remember when I left little hand prints on the window. Reading this poem made me realize how special those moments really are |

This is very sweet,I too remember the print`s from my children. And they really do grow up way to fast. There`s nothing in the world as precious as a child   The Devil Made Me Do It. |
