Tiny Steps
Little feet upon the floor,
Softest steps by the door.
Mama’s laughs, twirls, and bends,
Moments sweet that never end.
Tiny prints, side by side,
In each step, I take pride.
Hand in hand, we explore,
Love in prints forevermore.

Handprints on My Heart
Muddy prints, hands so small,
On the wall, they tell it all.
Giggles echo, up and down,
Mother's smile, never a frown.
Tiny hands, paint and clay,
Crafting love for Mother's Day.
Every smudge, a tale to tell,
In these hands, my heart does dwell.

Steps to You
Sneaky feet on morning’s glow,
To mom’s room, on tiptoes go.
Sunrise peeks, sleepy eyes meet,
Hugs so warm, oh so sweet.
Breakfast bed, a tray so grand,
Made with love by little hands.
Toast and jam, a heart-shaped treat,
Mom and me, moments neat.

Wings from My Walk
Little feet, paint so cool,
Pressed on paper at my school.
A butterfly, bold and bright,
For mom, to lift her heart in flight.
Colors splash, wings take shape,
Mom’s smile wide, mouth agape.
With every step, love I send,
My footprint wings, my love to lend.

Butterfly Footsteps
Two little feet, dipped in blue,
On paper white, a butterfly grew.
Flutter and twirl, colors blend,
A special gift for my mom, my friend.
Wings of joy, soaring wide,
Painted with love, mom's heart-filled pride.
Fluttering colors, light and free,
Mom's love makes a butterfly out of me.
