Handprint Poems for Mother’s Day
Table of Contents
Little Hands, Big Love
Little hands, paint splashed,
On Mother’s Day, our worlds are mashed.
In every print, a tale grows,
Of hugs and laughs in colorful rows.
Lines weave love on canvas bare,
Small hands wave in the air.
Mother watches, eyes aglow,
In these prints, her love we know.
Brushes dance, hands collide,
On this day, with pride we stride.
A masterpiece of love and play,
From little hands, on Mother’s Day.

Mother’s Day Handprint
Tiny fingers, small and round,
Touch the earth, where love is found.
Each smudge a tale, a gentle stay,
Here lies the warmth of Mother's Day.
Hand to hand, the story's told,
In every line, her heart I hold.
Soft as silk, her touch, my guide,
Through painted prints, side by side.
Colors blend on canvas white,
Mother's love, in hues so bright.
My hand in hers, forever lay,
This art of hearts, on Mother's Day.

Handprints of Love
Small hands press,
In colors bold,
Stories of a love untold.
On this canvas,
Bright and gay,

With each print,
A memory blooms,
In these rooms where love looms.
Tiny palms leave,
A lasting sway,
Mom’s love, painted in the fray.
