D94: Hand prints

Went to Doyle Street park in Emeryville today to check out the art work of local artist  Masayuki Nagase.  The image below is part of a large granite bolder carved with hand prints of children and adults.  The hand prints remind me of a poem I remember reading years ago.  I think I saw it on a mother's day card.

 Handprints

Sometimes you get discouraged

Because I am so small

And always leave my handprint

On furniture and wall

 But everyday I'm growing

(I'll be all grown someday)

And all those tiny hand prints

Will surely fade away.

So here's a final hand print

Just so you can recall

Exactly how my fingers looked

When they were very small.
