Handprints On The Wall

The wait turned into hours before you came my way

The smile that filled a daddy's heart on the special day

The moment left me speechless I didn't know what to say

Then you took your first breath that took mine away

Days go by so quickly summer turns to fall

Seems like only yesterday that you began to crawl

So don't be afraid to take that step I'll catch you if you fall

I don't mind if you leave behind a few hand prints on the wall

I can't describe this feeling way down deep inside

The itsy-bitsy spider was the first thing that we tried

Patty cake the baker's man with your hands so very small

You could always stay this young and I wouldn't mind at all

Days go by so quickly summer turns to fall

Seems like only yesterday that you began to crawl

So don't be afraid to take that step I'll catch you if you fall

I don't mind if you leave behind a few hand prints .....on the wall
