Tiny Fingers <br /> <br />Tiny fingers <br />pat the window <br />and squeal at the dog <br />wagging on the other side. <br /> <br />Tiny fingers <br />tease the gap <br />between door and jamb <br />and sneak them apart. <br /> <br />Tiny fingers <br />press pea and pumpkin <br />into orange-green <br />and decorate the dish. <br /> <br />Tiny fingers <br />prod my wrinkled face <br />and let me know, <br />without words, <br />how much I matter.<br /><br />Alison Cassidy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/tiny-fingers/
