Little Hands

...They bunch up the covers and thread fingers through the holes,
...Grasp unto shirt, face, lips when he suckles at the breast,
...Pull at hair, earrings, necklace when you get in too close,
...Clutch tightly to rubber giraffes and plastic rings.

...Wave in the air with excitement upon seeing a familiar face,
...Hold one another as he ponders something new,
...Grab at the diaper, penaten and wipes, making change time messy,
...Stroke soft objects, including passing cats.

Oh how I love these little hands, that God has entrusted into ours.
