For Josiah
His fingers ar so tiny, so marvelously perfect.
Soon they will reach out to touch
the smiling faces of everyone around him...
These little hands will explore, discover,
and bring the world to him for his inspection and delight.
With these hands he will throw balls,
capture bugs, and build castles in the sand.
He will use them to open books
and unlock the doors to knowledge.
These are the hands that may someday sculpt, make music,
or cuddle children of his own.
His hands are so tiny now,
and yet within them lie the future and the fulfillment
of all his precious dreams.
So hold him gently and watch with pride
as he reaches out in love and joy to all of life.
(Tonight is Josiah's baby shower and I found this verse on a card.
