Day 327 of 365 ... Little Fingers and Toes!

The fingers and toes of babies and toddlers are so precious!


Ten little fingers and ten little toes,

Wrapped in a blanket from grandmother yarn, 
My heart is full as you lie in my arms. 
Entrusted to me, I'll give you my best;
A bright future for you is my quest!
