Daddy Handprint Poem

Here are my handprints
So tiny and small
The ones that clasped your hands Daddy
The ones on the wall.

Press them in your memories Daddy,
Press them in your heart
Never let go of me Daddy,
Never let us part.

Right now they’re good for touching
And crawling on the floors
Hold them tightly in your hands Daddy
They fit so perfectly in yours.

Soon I’ll be big like you,
Our hands will be the same
But you will always be my Daddy,
And I will always proudly carry your name.

One of our Story Time Felts Consultants, Wendy Varney, who also writes some of our original stories, wrote this poem. I love it!

What I Really Want
-A child’s request

Most of the time the TV’s OK,
But Mom I’d rather be with you today.
Play Station’s fun and exciting too,
But honestly mom I’d rather play with you.
I know you are busy with lots going on,
But do you have a minute to sing me a song?
Games and electronics, all varied and sorted,
But really I’d rather you tell me a story.
Just a bit of your time, I won’t take too long,
Before you know it, one day I’ll be gone.

This poem is dedicated to all the busy moms out there, from a mom who wishes she’d realized this sooner.

Here are some cute Thanksgiving poems!

Thanksgiving Time 

Thanksgiving is a time we

Gather together to give thanks with friends and family.

Pies are baked and potatoes peeled,

And Mr. Turkey is found in the field.

We all give thanks for this great land,

And remember the first pilgrims who were helped by the Indians.

Thanksgiving’s Start 

When the pilgrims came to this new land,

They met the natives and shook their hands.

They had a feast with turkey and corn,

And that was when Thanksgiving was born!

Do you have some more to share with us? Post them here!

My daughter had this poem written in her journal from her religious education class. Use this as a discussion starter with kids for how we should choose how we spend our time wisely!

Only a Minute

I have only just a minute,
Only sixty seconds in it,
Didn’t seek it, didn’t choose it,
But it’s up to me to use it,
Give account if I abuse it,
Answer for it if I lose it,
Just a tiny little minute,
But eternity is in it!
